More quotes by Shane Claiborne
We've heard from people all around the world, telling us that this is their reality. People need a way to connect the sometimes really hard reality in which they wake up each morning with the movement of the Spirit.
Shane Claiborne
As an American, and especially as a Christian, I am convinced that a love for our own people is not a bad thing, but love doesn't stop at borders. Love is infinitely boundless and all about holy trespassing and offensive friendships.
Shane Claiborne
Our churches should attract the people Jesus attracted and frustrate the people Jesus frustrated.

When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.

Shane Claiborne
Someday war and poverty will be crazy and we will wonder how the world allowed such things to exist.
Shane Claiborne
If those of us who believe in God do not believe God's grace is big enough to save the whole world... well, we should at least pray that it is.
Shane Claiborne
There are folks who burn the Koran and hold signs saying, God hates fags and all sorts of sick things - and they often hijack the headlines with hatred. We know that is not what Christ was like.
Shane Claiborne
I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.
Shane Claiborne
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.
Shane Claiborne
[People] need to find words that can reconnect them with each other. That is the gift of good liturgy, yeah. We're not talking about fluffy stuff. We're talking about real life for people around the world. Our prayers should be said like the daily breath that gives us life.
Shane Claiborne
I don't know if you've read the Bible, and if you haven't, I think you may be in a better place than those of us who have read it so much that it has become stale.
