Anglicans asked to pray for their dinner

Churchgoers across the country were asked yesterday to give thanks to something other than God for the food on their tables - by saying a prayer for the soul of their Sunday roast before tucking in.
Thousands of Anglican clergy were sent the new order of service, written by a Birmingham theologian, from the RSPCA which sets out prayers for the soul of the animal slaughtered to provide the traditional Sunday meal.

"ask God to give them compassion for animals exploited for food, for science, and for entertainment".

"It is only right that Christians should repent of their sins towards animals."
