Description
Christian worship remains unashamedly human-centric, yet Christians believe that the logos is the source of all life. This lack of liturgical means for celebrating and honoring animals has left a significant gap in our spiritual practices.
This unique book provides a variety of animal-friendly and inclusive liturgies to address this gap. It includes services for animal companionship, welfare, healing, and burial, as well as new eucharistic prayers for the whole creation. Underlying these forms is a serious theological purpose: to deepen our understanding of God's work in creation and to affirm other sentient beings as co-creators with us.
