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
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.
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
Rather than finding the devil out there, we battle the devil within us. The revolution starts inside each of us.

The problem is that the Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul stuff may feel good, but none of that typical stuff helps when somebody in your neighborhood is murdered.
Shane Claiborne

Shane Claiborne
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.
Shane Claiborne
When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.
Shane Claiborne
Sometimes our tunnel vision is limited to what we see outside our window. Until racial injustice becomes personal then I don't think it moves us in our gut.
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
It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's job, as Dr. [Martin Luther] King says, to be the conscience of the state, not the chaplain of the state.
Shane Claiborne
Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more.
Shane Claiborne
That is the power of the Eucharist. At the communion table you have rich and poor together in the early church and they were being challenged.
Shane Claiborne
I just have a more holistic sense of what it means to be for life, knowing that life does not just begin at conception and end at birth, and that if I am going to discourage abortion, I had better be ready to adopt some babies and care for some mothers.
