The Fellowship of Life
a Christian-based vegetarian group founded in 1973

From the Archbishop of Hexham and Newcastle

Thank you for your letter asking for my thoughts on the emergence of vegetarian advocacy within today's Christian community. Among the many important concerns that are current, I think it has no place. I regard vegetarianism as a personal fad which people should be free to follow if they wish, but they should not impose their views on anybody else.

With good wishes,

(14/2/03)
