Dr. Will Tuttle will also share remembrances of his visit to The Farm in the 1970's, and how the profound experience of meeting so many vegans for the first time started him on a journey of studying the links between violence and food.

"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Hosea 6:6
Richard H. Schwartz, Ph.D., will discuss challenges facing contemporary Judaism in the context of vegetarianism. How does the production & consumption of meat violate basic Jewish/religious m&ates? Is there a Biblical basis for vegetarianism? Why should everyone, including Jews, be vegetarian? What does Judaism teach about the environment, helping hungry people, conserving natural resources, justice, population growth, involvement, & protest? How important is vegetarianism with regard to global survival? All these questions & more will be answered on today's show. In addition, Dr. Schwartz will describe the connections that can be made between vegetarianism & the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which begins on December 22nd. We'll also get an update on the documentary A Sacred Duty: Applying Jewish Values to Help Heal the World.

"Christianity and Vegetarianism" a talk by Father John Dear, S.J.
Promoting peace and nonviolence, Father John Dear, a Catholic priest, has traveled the world and believes, as Gandhi did, that Jesus was the greatest practitioner of nonviolence in history. He believes that not only must we put down our swords against one another but to truly create peace on earth as Jesus envisaged, Christians must hold all life sacred, and, thus, forgo the brutal and needless slaughter of billions of animals. By embracing a plant based diet Christians can move toward greater wholeness as spiritual beings while at the same time ending world hunger and preserving the environment. As a biblical scholar and Jesuit priest Father Dear cites ample biblical evidence to support a vegetarian and nonviolent lifestyle. He also elaborates on vegetarianism as a path to health and wholeness, providing evidence that vegetarians lead healthier and longer lives than meat eaters.
