More quotes by Shane Claiborne
Liturgy and worship were never meant to be confined to the cathedrals and sanctuaries. Liturgy at its best can be performed like a circus or theater - making the Gospel visible as a witness to the world around us.
Shane Claiborne
We know the Church wasn't born 200 years ago. It's encouraging to see some of the post-denominational churches actually wanting to reconnect with the story and the prayer life of the larger Church.
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
What the Black lives matter movement is doing is they are making it personal. They are making it hash tagged, exposing the racial injustice that continues to haunt our country in a way that you can't ignore. There is power in injustice becoming personal.
Shane Claiborne
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
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
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.
Shane Claiborne
The early Christians felt a deep collision with the empire in which they lived, and with politics as usual. They carelessly crossed party lines and built subversive friendships. And we should do that too.
Shane Claiborne
People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live.
Shane Claiborne
If we believe terrorists are past redemption, we should just rip up like 1/2 the New Testament because it was written by one.
Shane Claiborne
What is the point in calling anything God if it does not also hold sway in every part of one's life--especially one's politics?
Shane Claiborne
There is extreme poverty in Appalachia, where I was, and increasingly poverty is not just an urban thing.
Shane Claiborne
There are some things to die for but none to kill for.
Shane Claiborne
This is the company we keep when it comes to the death penalty: China, the number one executing country Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, those are the top 4, and number 5 is the US. And those are not countries that are known as champions for human rights, you know.
Shane Claiborne
There is an innocence or purity that we see in renewals and in the Mennonite church and a new an invigorated civil rights movement.
Shane Claiborne
We are faithful not to the triumphant golden eagle (ironically, also an imperial symbol of power in Rome) but to the slaughtered Lamb.
Shane Claiborne
God can use anything, and anyone - even a king or a president, even a tax collector or a businessman, a priest or a prostitute, a Republican or a Democrat.
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
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.
Shane Claiborne
I think they [ monastic folks ] were going to the desert to build a new society and in a sense to build a new world, a new culture together where it was easier to be good and holy.
