Lentils for Lent!
PETA
is celebrating the Lenten season with appropriately named legumes: lentils!
We’ve
selected two faith-based soup kitchens to which we will give 500 cans of lentil
soup apiece, generously donated by Amy’s: Boston’s Haley House and Newark’s Saint John’s Soup Kitchen. We’re hoping to
encourage the congregations that operate
the soup kitchens to use this season of spiritual renewal to think about Scriptures
that instruct us to show compassion to all of God’s creation, including animals—verses
such as “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful”
(Luke 6:36), “They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain” (Isaiah 11:9), and “A new command I give you: Love one another” (John 13:34).
The
prolonged and painful
deaths that animals face in slaughterhouses couldn’t be further
from what God would deem loving or merciful. For Lent, those of us who are fortunate
enough to choose our meals three times a day should pick healthy vegan foods and prevent God’s
creation from suffering.

And perhaps you would like to reach out to
Christians at Lent with an offering of soup?
