Shane Claiborne
As Christians, we should be the best collaborators in the world. We should be quick to find unlikely allies and subversive friends, like Jesus did.
Shane Claiborne
When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.
Shane Claiborne

Shane Claiborne
I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.
Shane Claiborne
We're remembering each other's heroes, too. We are learning each other's songs. We are reminding ourselves that we are a global family praying together. We're all trying to live in the light of the history that shines through the biblical narrative.
Shane Claiborne
