“Too often, animal welfare is viewed as a modern, secular issue. The CreatureKind Course for churches demonstrates that there is both a biblical basis and rich tradition of care for animals in the Christian church. I hope many churches will adopt the course as part of their regular rhythm of study and fellowship.”
Grace Yia-Hei KaoClaremont School of Theology
I cannot imagine a better resource for Churches who want to explore the profound-though-still-largely-ignored implications of Christian theology for concern for non-human animals. The people who conceived and executed this course are among the best in the world in the field, and also have the virtue of being wonderful teachers. What a gift they have given to the Christian Churches!

CreatureKind's Course for Churches is a rare thing: humble in its presentation of the facts, theologically sound, and practically oriented. It is an invaluable resource for anyone earnestly pursuing the question of how Jesus' gospel of reconciliation should shape their everyday lives.
Rev. Kyle Meyaard-SchaapNational Organizer and Spokesperson, Young Evangelicals for Climate Action
The CreatureKind Course for Churches is ideal for people of faith who want to go deep and discern who we are called to be and what we are called to do with respect to animals and the environment. In a time when many of our churches are struggling with what it means to become culturally relevant, this 6-week study is perfect for those who long learn how the Christian faith speaks to the social, economic, and environmental issues of our day.
Christopher CarterMethodist Theological School in Ohio
The way humans treat animals has profound impacts on animals, the environment, and global human health. The CreatureKind Course for Churches demonstrates that concern for animals has always been an important part of Christian life and helps Christians think carefully about our relationship with animals.
Bruce FriedrichGood Food Institute
It has been said that God sent the animals for us to learn how to love like God. But when it comes to our relationships with animals, Christians often need guidance. This is where courses and discussions about animals in the context of one's Christian faith can be tremendously helpful. CreatureKind is helping fill a large gap in this area
