The more I travel, the more I see how important it is to each population to see that their history of the good and the bad is remembered by others.

More quotes by Shane Claiborne
Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.
Shane Claiborne
[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
The question becomes not just how to accumulate more, but how to covet less.
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
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
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?
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.
Shane Claiborne
The future of the church is also about looking back and looking at where we see these wonderful renewals and what we can learn from the early church. I think it is a really exciting time where Phyllis Tickle said every few hundred years the church needs a rummage sale where we can get rid of some of the clutter.
Shane Claiborne
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
I say let's be idealists. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see (Hebrews 11:1).
Shane Claiborne
There is a movement bubbling up that goes beyond cynicism and celebrates a new way of living, a generation that stops complaining about the church it sees and becomes the church it dreams of.
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
Faith is being idealistic, because we have made an idol out of the status quo.
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.
Shane Claiborne
Rather than finding the devil out there, we battle the devil within us. The revolution starts inside each of us.
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
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
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.
Shane Claiborne
God doesn't want to change the world without you.
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.
