Take
Heart!
Rev. Professor Andrew Linzey
PhD, DD, author of Christianity and the Rights of Animals, Animal Theology, and Animal Gospel.Rev. Dr. Andrew Linzey is an Anglican priest, theologian, writer and Christian vegetarian. He is a member of the Faculty of Theology in the University of Oxford, and holds the world’s first academic post in Ethics, Theology and Animal Welfare.
“Animals are God's creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor resources, nor commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. ...Christians whose eyes are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is God's absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, and the vulnerable, but most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent suffering.”
