Animal Christian Concern - ACC We campaign for an end to animal exploitation as it is incompatible with Christ's teachings of love

We aim to express, inside & outside the Church, the view that cruelty of any kind is incompatible with Christ’s teachings of love, that love is indivisible & that cruelty towards any sentient creature is a breach of love. Our mission is two-fold: to take the Gospel, as it relates to the whole creation, to a secular world; & to attempt to remind the Church of its Biblical responsibilities to animal

s. To this end, we have always liaised with secular animal welfare groups. ACC, pronounced ‘Assisi’ in honour of St Francis, was born out of dismay at humanity’s cruel exploitation of animals & a need for a Christian animal welfare voice. The few of us who gathered together in 1985 little realised that a year later we would be among 700 attending an ACC Service at York Minster, where our Patron, the Bishop of Salisbury preached:-
“To shut your mind, heart, imagination to the sufferings of others is to begin slowly, but inexorably, to die. Those Christians who close their minds & hearts to the cause of animal welfare & the evils it seeks to combat are ignoring the fundamental spiritual teachings of Christ Himself.”
Since then, ACC has held 14 animal services at cathedrals around the UK. Our worldwide campaigns have covered many topics concerning animals who suffer in factory farms, live exports, vivisection, the fur trade, blood sports, entertainment etc. The C of E Board of Social Responsibility & the Diocesan & Deanery Synods have been well informed of ACC concerns; research materials have frequently been requested of us by students; we have contributed to radio & TV programmes & our work has been publicised in many publications, Christian & secular.

How can it be possible to receive God’s Kingdom, proclaiming Him as Love; & Jesus as Lord of Creation, whilst ignoring the misery & groaning of His suffering Creatures? Many Christians are worried because churches have little to say about what we’re doing to animals; & secular groups appear to have stolen our role! God has entrusted us with the responsible care of His Creatures. And though judgment is within the love of Jesus, the responsibility to share the Gospel is always ours: “You must proclaim God’s message about many nations, races, languages & kings” (Rev 10:11).

Salvation The Christian faith has within it an urgent message concerning our need of salvation, a need which can be filled by our acceptance of Jesus as Saviour. We each have within us the sin of Adam who “fell” into separation from God, but we each have also the opportunity of identifying wit...
