As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.
Shane Claiborne
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.
Shane Claiborne
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.

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.

We have been mentored from the very beginning by Catholic folks who are invigorating the best of the monastic spirit.
Shane Claiborne
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.

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.

God doesn't want to change the world without you.

I'm just not convinced that Jesus is going to say, When I was hungry, you gave a check to the United Way and they fed me.
Shane Claiborne
It's impossible to separate our contemporary practice of the death penalty from our history around race and slavery, and specifically, lynching. Where lynchings were happening 100 years ago is where executions are happening today. And that's a haunting and eerie thing.
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
Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.
Shane Claiborne
I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.

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
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.

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.
