More quotes by Shane Claiborne
There is a difference between feeding someone and eating dinner with them. If every Christian at home just made room for the stranger we would end homelessness overnight.
Shane Claiborne
Someday war and poverty will be crazy and we will wonder how the world allowed such things to exist.
Shane Claiborne
There is one big misunderstanding of the monastics leaving society.
Shane Claiborne
I believe you know Jesus said a doctor doesn't come to the healthy, but the sick, and it's not the righteous but the sinners that I've come for, so I think that that's the scandal of God's love and grace that no one is beyond redemption, and we can see that all through scripture, you know.

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
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.

There are some things to die for but none to kill for.

Shane Claiborne
As an American, and especially as a Christian, I am convinced that a love for our own people is not a bad thing, but love doesn't stop at borders. Love is infinitely boundless and all about holy trespassing and offensive friendships.
Shane Claiborne
For even if the whole world believed in resurrection, little would change until we began to practice it. We can believe in CPR, but people will remain dead until someone breathes new life into them. And 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
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
Shane Claiborne
A pastor friend of mine said, Our problem is that we no longer have martyrs. We only have celebrities.
Shane Claiborne
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.
Shane Claiborne
Christianity is at its best when it is peculiar, marginalized, suffering, and it is at its worst when it is popular, credible, triumphal, and powerful.
Shane Claiborne
Because you can poke someone's eye out legally doesn't mean you should and that it's right. The Bible teaches us a more perfect justice.
Shane Claiborne
When it comes to the big issues like immigration, everyone has a role. The government has a role. The church has a role. Every Christian has a role.
Shane Claiborne
We say it is idealistic to think we can continue to live the way we live - with 5% of the world using half the world's resources, with $20,000 a second being spent on war.
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
I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.
