Michael Gilmour, Professor of English and biblical literature at
Providence University College in Manitoba, writes about the connection
between his Christian Faith and the choice he made to adopt a vegetarian
diet. While he confesses that it wasn't theology what prompted him to go
vegetarian, but instead the ethical implications surrounding it, he
realizes that his diet avoids treating God's farmed animals cruelly or
frivolously.
The Bible, Gilmour says, does not mandate a vegetarian diet but it
does call us to be compassionate, merciful and kind. Please visit

Our Christian faith and ethics should go hand in hand. Animal
agriculture is an industry that profits from the pain, fear and death of
God's farmed animals. Each one of us, by adopting a plant-based diet, is
helping reduce the abuse and death of thousands of animals, the
devastation of the environment and the rate of chronic diseases.
