[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.

More quotes by Shane Claiborne
The church is a place where broken people can fall in love with a beautiful God.
Shane Claiborne
Jesus still has a really great reputation and the Spirit is still moving. I've got a lot of hope for a generation that takes Jesus seriously, once again.
Shane Claiborne
Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.
Shane Claiborne
God's people are not to accumulate stuff for tomorrow but to share indiscriminately with the scandalous and holy confidence that God will provide for tomorrow. Then we need not stockpile stuff in barns or a 401(k), especially when there is someone in need.
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
We have been mentored from the very beginning by Catholic folks who are invigorating the best of the monastic spirit.
Shane Claiborne
I think a lot of people view the death penalty as a debate class or something. The cost and what's at stake is really, really a big deal.
Shane Claiborne
There are some things to die for but none to kill for.

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 is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.
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
The question for me is not are we political, but how are we political? We need to be politically engaged, but peculiar in how we engage.
Shane Claiborne
People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live.
Shane Claiborne
David, Moses, Saul of Tarsus, these were all people who did terrible terrible things - they were murderers. The Bible would be a lot shorter without grace.
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.
Shane Claiborne
We need good laws, but no law can change a human heart - only God can do that.
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
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?

Whenever folks say radical Christianity is a phase of youth, I tell them they need to meet our 80-year-old nun or my friend Tony Campolo.
Shane Claiborne
I like how someone once said being a Christian is not about having new ideas but having new eyes. This is the ability to have our hearts broken with the things that break the heart of God. That is part of what it means to be a Christian.
