All-Creatures.org Newsletter - June 17, 2026

From the Desk of the Executive Director

Hi friends! I am delighted to bring another first to you this week in our newsletter before the actual launch date! Here is an episode of Rebuking the Lies of the World that Keep Us from Ethical Vegan Discipleship. This is a series that has been on my heart and in development for almost three years. This work is especially for faith-based ethical vegans who feel isolated, misunderstood, or quietly silenced within their own houses of worship.

Each episode will be between ten to twenty minutes in length and delivered in three formats: (a) live in a bible study setting in Michigan, (b) as an online streaming study from All-Creatures.org, and (c) can be used to share by you if you desire to start a small group to grow together in confidence and love.

Private previews prior to this release received deeply encouraging feedback, which has only strengthened my belief and hope that it will bring comfort, clarity, and confidence to those who need it. My prayer is that these reflections will help faith-based ethical vegans reframe how we think of our own ethical veganism and inspire joy and confidence about this amazing journey of walking with Him in our lifestyles of peace and compassion.

If you have questions, you are welcome to reach out to me at [email protected].

Also, my newest hymn entitled Every Life Within Your Joy is below. Enjoy!!!

~ Kindness, Tams
