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
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.

It's not that hard to say slavery is wrong after we've abolished it.

To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.
Shane Claiborne
I wondered if there were other restless people asking the question with me: What if Jesus meant the stuff he said?.
Shane Claiborne
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.

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
Sometimes our tunnel vision is limited to what we see outside our window. Until racial injustice becomes personal then I don't think it moves us in our gut.
Shane Claiborne
It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's job, as Dr. [Martin Luther] King says, to be the conscience of the state, not the chaplain of the state.

I moved to Philadelphia to go to school at Eastern partly because I wanted to study the Bible and I also went to study sociology.
