If you’re an Episcopalian, please note that our Thanksgiving service is probably the most vegan-friendly liturgy of the year (and therefore the most turkey-friendly part of your Thanksgiving Day).
If you’re a veg’n Episcopalian, go to church, and give thanks for an hour’s respite from our secular “National Day of Carnage”!
Many of the above recipe links came from The Animal Spirit’s “Online Guide To Cruelty-Free Living“, which is a comprehensive resource on a number of topics, including the major holidays. Check it out.
