“Animals, Laudato si’, and the call of creation”: Thursday, April 23rd 2026: 20.00 UK time. Does our faith demand a more radical kind of kindness toward the creatures we share the earth with? Join Root & Branch for an inspiring evening in our Laudato Si’ series as we welcome Fr Terry Martin, a priest of the Arundel and Brighton Diocese, a leading voice for animal justice, author of the acclaimed new book Animals in Heaven? A Catholic Pastoral Response to Questions About Animals’ and recently honoured by one of the foremost global animal rights organisations, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), for his leadership in urging the Catholic Church to condemn bullfighting. Moving beyond the idea of "dominion" as a right to exploit, Terry will invite us to see it as a call to self-sacrificial love and stewardship. And join the conversation!
