Book Description
Learning of one animal's suffering or many animals' suffering may touch us very deeply. Sometimes, we do not want to be that deeply touched since we know how much it hurts to care about another's suffering. Praying for animals allows us to unburden ourselves of these feelings by sharing them.

Animal Rites
Author: Andrew Linzey
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725235781
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Christians believe that the logos is the source of all life, yet Christian worship remains unashamedly human-centric. The world of creation, and animals in particular, is almost invisible in our worship. The churches do not have the liturgical means of celebrating the life of animals, giving thanks for their companionship, praying for the relief of their suffering, or marking their death. This unique book provides a variety of liturgies that are animal-friendly and animal-inclusive. They include services in celebration of animal companionship, services for animal welfare, healing liturgies, new eucharistic prayers "for the whole creation," and animal burial services. Underlying all these new forms is a serious theological purpose: to help us to draw deeper into the mystery of God's work in creation and to affirm other sentient beings as co-creatures with us.
