Peace Abbey

June 11, 2008 11:06 by Gene

I recently visited the Peace Abbey in Sherborn, MA to give a talk at an annual gathering organized by the Boston Vegetarian Society. The Peace Abbey is an interfaith organization that promotes peace and a vegan lifestyle, and actively opposes violence to both human and nonhuman animals.   I visited the Animal Rights memorial at the Abbey.  It was erected over the grave of Emily, a cow who lived at the Abbey after jumping over a fence to escape from the slaughterhouse.  Like Farm Sanctuary, the Peace Abbey urges religious and spiritual communities to include all of creation (including farm animals) within our circle of compassion.
