Tapestry’s Religion Program

Bringing change for animals (and the earth, and people) among the world’s 5.8 billion diverse people of faith requires knowledge—knowledge that is not currently available. Although core sacred teachings require compassionate action, very few people know the breadth or specifics of these teachings. In contrast, many are familiar with the few, isolated, worn-out scriptures commonly used to defend the status quo. To heal this disconnect, Tapestry is working with religious scholars worldwide to create the Animals & Religion Website which offers comprehensive, systematic information from the core religious texts of the world’s largest and most influential religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Daoism, Hinduism, Native Religions, Islam, Jainism, and Judaism).
