Our Mission
From Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA)
-
To
support and encourage Christian vegetarians around the world. - To share with non-vegetarian Christians how a vegetarian diet can be a powerful and faith-strengthening witness to Christ's love, compassion, and peace.
- To show the world that plant-based diets represent good, responsible Christian stewardship for all God's Creation.
About the Christian Vegetarian Association
The Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA) is an international,
non-denominational ministry of believers dedicated to respectfully promoting
healthy, Christ-centered and God-honoring living among Christians.
We advocate nutritious plant-based diets in the global Christian community.
Through publications, websites, and related public information campaigns, we
educate people about the distinct health, environmental, and animal-related
advantages of plant-based eating.
I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith,
so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in
Christ.
(Philemon 6)
An Environmental and Health Ministry
We encourage vegetarianism because the diet is ecologically sound, helps alleviate world hunger, and benefits human health.
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple
and that God's Spirit lives in you?
(I Cor. 3:16)
An Animal Welfare Ministry
The CVA respectfully addresses humans' relationship with animals from a
comprehensive biblical perspective. We attempt therefore to actively
participate in the "reconciliation of Creation" that promises to result in
the "Peaceable Kingdom" foreshadowed by Scripture.
(See Gen. 1:29-30; Isa. 11:6-8; 65:17-25; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Col. 1:16-23; and
Dr. Rev. Andrew Linzey's "Declaration
of the Peaceable Kingdom.")
A Discipleship Ministry
Vegetarianism offers people everywhere important ways Christians may positively impact God's world for Christ, by caring for people, animals, and the environment. We believe, therefore, that encouraging plant-based diets is an effective, evangelistic witness to the gospel. It is a contemporary response to Christ's command to "go and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19)
The righteous man has regard for the life of his
beast.
(Proverbs 12:10)
