All-Creatures.org Newsletter - June 3, 2026

From the Desk of the Executive Director

Dear friends,

I have been and am very busy working on a number of faith-based ethical vegan projects lately, including the development of many new prayerful resources, and creating spiritual formation materials that help Christians think more deeply about mercy, justice, and our relationship with God’s creatures, creating a new program for faith-based ethical vegans, setting many of the vegan hymns I have written to music, and much more.

One of the pieces I have been working on is a Christian spiritual process for confronting and overcoming the normalized bondage that keeps so much of the body of Christ participating in the culture of death, and you can look for that in next week’s newsletter!!!

For today, I would love to share one of the songs with you — a hymn of compassion, worship, and hope for God’s Peaceable Kingdom entitled When Peace Shall Crown Creation. I haven’t shared it elsewhere yet – you are hearing it first.

~ Kindness, Tams Nicholson
