Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more.
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.

The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.

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.

But as I pursued that dream of upward mobility preparing for college, things just didn't fit together. As I read Scriptures about how the last will be first, I started wondering why I was working so hard to be first.

[Mahatma] Ghandi said in a world with so many hungry people it just makes sense that God would come as food. God sent the living bread and the living water in a world where there is so much thirst and so much hunger.

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 need good laws, but no law can change a human heart - only God can do that.
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.
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
Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.
Shane Claiborne
Someday war and poverty will be crazy and we will wonder how the world allowed such things to exist.
Shane Claiborne
All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tiptoe.
Shane Claiborne
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.
Shane Claiborne
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.
