Christians believe that the Logos is the source of all life, yet Christian worship remains largely and unashamedly humanocentric. This new book provides ten new liturgies that are animal-friendly and animal-inclusive. They include services of celebration for 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 draw us deeper into the mystery of God's work in creation and to affirm other sentient beings as co-creatures with us.The book is ideal for parishes that conduct annual blessings of animals, for animal rights activists, and for families with beloved pets.Linzey, Andrew is the author of 'Animal Rites Liturgies of Animal Care' with ISBN 9780829814514 and ISBN 0829814515.
