Creation Groans: Why Red Letter Christians Should Care About Animals

Sarah Withrow King
November 27, 2017
Creation & Environment, Practical Justice, Theology
Instead of living in harmony, as fellow creatures of God, we treat animals like unfeeling machines. We put profits before principle, and the results are devastating to the whole of God’s creation.

Angela Denker
October 30, 2017
Church Life, General, Theology
5
