    Fellowship Church in Grapevine uses live animals in sermons

    Christian theologian Andrew Linzey describes the situation as follows:

    “Far too often Christians have accepted the common secular view that we are the masters of animals – their rulers or owner, utterly forgetting that the dominion promised to humanity is a deputized dominion that we are to stand before creation as God’s vice-regents , putting into affect not our own egotistical wants, but God’s own law of love and mercy. And yet when one begins to challenge our own despotic treatment of animals…again and again.. One has to face this humanistic dogma: “If it benefits humanity. It must be right”.

    I can't believe a church as big as Fellowship with a pastor like Ed Young, would miss the very fundamentally of basic message of EASTER. Animals are God's creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor resources, nor commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. ... Christians whose eyes are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is God's absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, and the vulnerable, but most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent suffering.
