Church Quotes

When the early Church recited the Apostles Creed, it was simultaneously their greatest act of rebellion, and their greatest act of submission Picture Quote #1

The principle of plural marriage was revealed to the Mormons amid much secrecy. Dark clouds hovered over the church in the early 1840s, after rumors spread that its founder, Joseph Smith, had taken up the practice of polygamy. While denying the charge in public, by 1843 Smith had shared a revelation with his closest disciples Picture Quote #1

The church says the earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence even in a shadow than in the church Picture Quote #1

Although I respect the Judeo-Christian ethic, as well as the Eastern philosophies, and of course the teachings of Muhammad, I find that organized religion has corrupted those beliefs to justify countless atrocities throughout the ages. Were I to go to church, I’d be a hypocrite Picture Quote #1

I rebelled against the Mormon Church by going to other churches. I rebelled against my parents by not eating meat. I rebelled against my friends and myself by doing drugs. And I rebelled against everything that was holding me down by playing music with these guys Picture Quote #1

I beg you, look for the words ‘social justice’ or ‘economic justice’ on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words Picture Quote #1

My elementary education was at Christ Church infant school and St. Stephen’s junior school. At St. Stephen’s, I encountered my first real mentor, the headmaster Mr. Broakes. He must have spotted something unusual in me, for he spent lots of time encouraging my interest in mathematics Picture Quote #1

The forefathers of the United States were children of religious bigotry and persecution, and, as a result, fled Britain to create a new approach to life and government. They valued intellect and education. In fact, they outlined the principles of the United States’ democracy to establish intellectual freedom from the Church Picture Quote #1

Look, the communists have tried to corrupt our education system. They’ve tried to corrupt any number of institutions. Why wouldn’t they try to corrupt the Catholic Church? It is a big enemy Picture Quote #1

Hipsters seek refuge in church, Our Lady of Perpetual Subculture. There is some discussion as to whether or not they are still cool but then they are calmed by the obscure location and the arrival of their kind. Keep the address to yourself, let the rabble fund it themselves. Wow, this crappy performance art is really making me feel no so terrible about my various emotional issues Picture Quote #1

Don’t come to church for an emotional experience. Come to church for the truth Picture Quote #1

Since babyhood, I’ve always evolved from one thing to another. My mother gave me ballet lessons at 6 as part of her enthusiasm for the arts and for life. We went to museums, to the theater. While her own talent was untapped, she worked for church causes Picture Quote #1

My grandmother, she’s been the positive portion of my life the entire time. She raised us Baptist, and when I got old enough to say I didn’t want to go to church, she didn’t force me. She was cool Picture Quote #1

It may be a product of me being raised in episcopal church, but I have a love for ritual and theater and the significance of doing the exact same thing over and over. So I really love knowing every little thing I’m going to do during a show Picture Quote #1

Nightclubs are the equivalent of a Catholic Church in a poor country. You hear a lot of stuff about churches filled with gold while the people are starving. But what elitists don’t get is that for poor people, the church is their own mansion. Nightclubs fill the same function Picture Quote #1

The Copernican revolution was actually a contribution to the life of the church, the development of our view of ourselves in terms of the Universe, and therefore our view of God, et cetera. But, that took centuries, and struggles, and conflicts before that happened Picture Quote #1

Every Sunday my dad calls to ask if I went to church. And every Sunday I lie and say: Sorry. Wrong Number Picture Quote #1

I grew up Presbyterian, just a basic Protestant upbringing. There were years in my life when I would go to church every Sunday and to Sunday school. Then I just phased out of it Picture Quote #1

Church, the spiritual power, and the executive power are working today united in a system that confronts people. This alliance or cooperation between the spiritual power and the executive power, between the church and the government, unfortunately takes away the Church’s basic mission. It takes away their right to speak on moral or ethical subjects Picture Quote #1

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination prejudice Picture Quote #1

When pastors don’t have rich spiritual lives with Christ, they become victimized by other models of success - models conveyed to them by their training, by their experience in the church, or just by our culture Picture Quote #1

We’re a part of the insurrection, trying to turn Christianity upside down. We’re an experimental church: God’s research and development arm Picture Quote #1

I am a Catholic, not so committed to the church, but to the idea of the Virgin, the female face of God Picture Quote #1

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards Picture Quote #1

Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation is big on buzz but is not the stunning surprise claimed by many pundits. It is rather a further example of the German theology professor’s style that informed his years as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, his term as pope, and the formation of his legacy to the church Picture Quote #1

Those who embrace belief in Christ Jesus are bound together in Him, in a real yet incomplete way, in his Body, the Church. Faith is never a solitary activity, nor can it be simply private. Faith in Christ always draws us into a community and has a public dimension Picture Quote #1

I see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity Picture Quote #1

Oh God, I’m going to get in trouble for saying this, but I grew up falling asleep in church because I was tired from watching horror movies late at night Picture Quote #1
