The March-April Peaceable Table is now online

[Gracia Fay Ellwood]

In his issue you will find:

• The Glimpse of the Peaceable Kingdom tells of the healing friendship between Suryia, a grieving and depressed orangutan, and Roscoe, a bluetick hound.  The relationship enabled Suryia to emerge from his depression and thrive once more.
• Karen Davis, in our Editor's Corner Guest Essay for this issue, inquires into the place action seeking to awaken guilt in flesh-eaters may have in our work as animal advocates.  Can guilt penetrate the wall such people build between their hearts and the truth?
• The Unset Gem in this issue speaks of the grief of mother cows and their kidnapped calves in the dairy industry.
• Our Pioneer, Omri Paz, an Israeli who is all of thirty-one years old, is the founder of the organization Vegan Friendly, which has increased the percentage of vegans in Israel 400% in the ten or so years he has been active.
• Our Recipe in this issue is "Cabbage Rolls," a delectable dish from A Feast of Friendship, a vegetarian cookbook produced by a committee of Pasadena Quakers in 1986.
• George Gordon, also known as Lord Byron, was not exactly a spiritual giant--the narrator of his Poem "Epitaph to a Dog" confesses to having had only one friend, the dog--almost surely the sentiment of the poet himself.  But he expresses eloquently the unjust difference in treatment of humans and animals, living or dead, in Western society.
