For the Methodist sect founded in Cornwall, see Bible Christian Church.
The Bible Christian Church was a Christian vegetarian sect founded by William Cowherd in Salford, North West England in 1809.[1] To join the church, members had to sign a pledge that committed them to a vegetarian diet and abstention from alcohol.[2] Followers of Cowherd's ideas were commonly known as Bible Christians or "Cowherdites." Cowherd was one of the philosophical forerunners of the Vegetarian Society founded in 1847.[3]
