More quotes by Shane Claiborne
I think in the end, God's justice is redemptive, it's restorative, it's about giving life, not taking life.
Shane Claiborne
Because you can poke someone's eye out legally doesn't mean you should and that it's right. The Bible teaches us a more perfect justice.
Shane Claiborne
There are some things to die for but none to kill for.
Shane Claiborne
That is part of our critique of some of the charity and service work is that we can still keep relationships at a distance by creating programs that offer services but we don't really create a reconciled community.
Shane Claiborne
We can tell the world that there is life after death, but the world really seems to be wondering if there is life before death.
Shane Claiborne
I say let's be idealists. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see (Hebrews 11:1).
Shane Claiborne
Prayer is not so much about convincing God to do what we want God to do as it is about convincing ourselves to do what God wants us to do.
Shane Claiborne
It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.
Shane Claiborne
God doesn't want to change the world without you.
Shane Claiborne
Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.

Christianity is at its best when it is peculiar, marginalized, suffering, and it is at its worst when it is popular, credible, triumphal, and powerful.
Shane Claiborne
The death penalty has succeeded in America, not in spite of Christians, but because of us. The Bible Belt is the Death Belt. Wherever Christians are most concentrated is where executions are happening, and that's deeply troubling to me.
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
God's people are not to accumulate stuff for tomorrow but to share indiscriminately with the scandalous and holy confidence that God will provide for tomorrow. Then we need not stockpile stuff in barns or a 401(k), especially when there is someone in need.
Shane Claiborne
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
Shane Claiborne
People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live.

Philadelphia caught my attention in 1995 when a group of homeless families were living in an abandoned cathedral. Even from the beginning they connected theology with what they were doing. They put a banner on the front of the cathedral that said, How can we worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one on Monday.
Shane Claiborne
My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth.

There is extreme poverty in Appalachia, where I was, and increasingly poverty is not just an urban thing.
