Description: Vegetarianism and veganism are fast-growing approaches to diet in the West -- but Christians have often been slow to evaluate these from an ethical point of view. Our calling to be stewards of creation invites us to ask major questions. How does our diet affect animal welfare, the environment, those experiencing food shortages, and our own health? Plant-based diets offer a challenge we can no longer ignore.  --
