More quotes by Shane Claiborne
A lot of times people say whatever the government touches, they don't do that well, so why would we trust them with the power over life and death? Do we really believe the system is that perfect that it won't make any mistakes? You can't reverse these mistakes.
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 am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians. Christians who have had so much to say with our mouths and so little to show with our lives. I am sorry that so often we have forgotten the Christ of our Christianity.
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.
Shane Claiborne
As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.
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.

There is real value in these local congregations. For me, a lot of it is the value of the sacraments we share. In neighborhoods like ours, the churches provide stability.

This is what Jesus had in mind: folks coming together, forming close-knit communities and meeting each other's needs-- no kings, no major welfare systems, no presidents necessary. His is a theology and practice for the people of God, not a set of suggestions for empire.

The church is a place where broken people can fall in love with a beautiful God.
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
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
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
When we realize that we are both wretched and beautiful, we are freed up to see others the same way.
Shane Claiborne
We have been mentored from the very beginning by Catholic folks who are invigorating the best of the monastic spirit.
Shane Claiborne
If we believe terrorists are past redemption, we should just rip up like 1/2 the New Testament because it was written by one.
Shane Claiborne
It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
We know the Church wasn't born 200 years ago. It's encouraging to see some of the post-denominational churches actually wanting to reconnect with the story and the prayer life of the larger Church.
Shane Claiborne
I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.
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.

The more recent effort to encourage everyone to pray in common involves so many people.
