Christians believe that the Logos is the source of all life, yet Christian worship remains unashamedly humanocentric. This book provides 10 new liturgies which are animal friendly and animal-inclusive. They includes services of celebration for animal companionship, services for animal welfare, healing liturgies, new Eucharistic prayers 'for the whole of 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.
