Vegetarianism and Religion, a talk in Redditch
2nd March 2011 - the event starts at 19:30. and ends at 21:30:00
A talk exploring the connections between vegetarianism and various religions, with Karen Parham of the Birmingham Vegetarian and Vegan group.
Vegetarianism and religion are strongly linked in a number of religions that originated in ancient India (Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism). In Jainism, vegetarianism is mandatory for everyone, in Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism it is advocated by some influential scriptures and religious authorities. Comparatively, in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and in Sikhism, vegetarianism is not promoted by mainstream authorities. In Christianity and Sikhism, however, there are groups promoting vegetarianism on religious grounds.
All of these religions will be covered in the talk and also Rastafarianism and Hare Krishnas.
The event will take place from 7.30pm at St Georges Community Hall, St Georges Road, Redditch.
