Latter Day Saint Vegetarian
Writers / Authors:
Following is a (beginning, but
growing) list of contributing LDS Authors who are active and valiant in
their faith as "Latter Day Saints" (members of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints) and who also are firm in their belief of the value,
correctness and benefit of their personal fully vegetarian lifestyle choices.
Their writings, made accessible
to you here, reflect their valiant faith in the Restored Gospel of Jesus
Christ as is presented to us in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, and their comfort and integration within it of those "harmless
to creation" plant centered nourishment principles for the physical "temples
of their Spirit" - found wonderfully and wholly within their fully 100%
vegetarian (i.e.vegan) lifestyle choice!
As you open their writ,
keep in mind the inherent limits of all human language and boundaries of
human skills with speech; also that each person's life experiences influence
their perceptions, unique expressions and delivery. So please read with
generous openness, intent on piercing the veil of mankind's clumsy script,
and look into their hearts to comprehend and understand the loving and
caring spirit, laboring within each of these kind writers as they reach
out to share, encourage and benefit you:
