ASWA – Putting animals back onto the agenda of the Church. 
ASWA Web siteThe Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals is a UK based Christian organisation. Our main aim is to raise awareness of animal welfare issues within the Anglican Church and the wider Christian community. We are ecumenical and welcome all Christian denominations as members and supporters. Lately, the secular animal welfare movement has often been highly critical of the apparent lack of concern shown by the Church for the suffering of animals. This has not always been the case however and Christians have been involved in animal welfare reform throughout history. For example, the RSPCA – the first animal protection society, was founded by an Anglican priest – Revd Arthur Broome. Well known Christians such as C S Lewis, John Wesley and William Wilberforce all spoke out against animal cruelty. It is our aim to put animal welfare back onto the agenda of the Church. As the Psalmist says in Psalm 148, animals in their amazing variety of species were all created for the glory of God and to praise His name. They were not created for our exploitation and domination. |
