Shane Claiborne Quotes

A Friend And I Prepared A Video Clip Once For A Worship Service. Our Goal Was To Capture People's Responses To The Word Christian, So We Took A Video Camera And Hit The Streets, From The Trendy Arts District To The Suburbs.

One Guy Even Said, "used-to-be-one" (sort Of One Word). I Will Also Never Forget What They Didn't Say. Not One Of The People We Asked That Day Said "love." No One Said "grace." No One Said "community.
