Donate Today to Ensure Next Year’s Fellows Have the Resources and Opportunities They Need to Thrive!

CreatureKind Fellows are changing the future of the church. This year, donations to CreatureKind helped our first class of Fellows:

• organize six scholarly lectures, reaching more than 400 participants, to equip pastors to preach about animals and factory farms; 

• produce a podcast series on faith, family, and food; 

• write a Lenten series for Catholics centering the welfare of farmed animals; 

• translate the CreatureKind Small group study into French, and raise the profile of animal advocacy in the French church, including an interview in a weekly magazine with a readership of 499,000; 

• partner with a local Aboriginal community to craft a series of devotionals, each focusing on a farmed animal raised for food in her area; 

• lead a community discussion and series of podcast interviews on faith and farmed animals; and 

• start a denomination-wide group of animal advocates (with well over 1,700 members!) and advocate for a DefaultVeg approach to meals at the highest level of denominational meetings.

What Our CreatureKind Fellows Are Saying

• “This Fellowship has been corrective and challenging but not judgmental. A place that has helped me grow in compassionate ways to engage in animal advocacy. This was a really safe space to learn that. I feel secure in the work I am doing going forward as an environmental activist centering animals.”

• “I feel more empowered in my own ministry.”

• “Finding CreatureKind has been a gift to me. It is refreshing and nourishing to my spirit to find the community of folx at CreatureKind who are engaged in advocacy that emerges from a deep sense of God’s love of and care for all creation…To be followers of Jesus means seeing and then resisting and dismantling oppression and injustice in all forms, and I think CreatureKind is engaged and leading the way in this church-changing, world-changing work.”

• “As part of this year’s Fellowship cohort, I have gained so much knowledge on food justice and how this interweaves with other forms of oppression, and why it is so important for us as Jesus followers to look at our food systems.”

• “Your continued support of CreatureKind’s work means that myself and the other fellows feel empowered and have access to the necessary resources to become the Christian animal advocates that we have been called to be.”
