• Adam Hamilton - In the minds of many nonreligious people...

  • In the minds of many nonreligious people in America, Christianity is not associated with love or grace or justice, but with a particular view of homosexuality, or a particular stance on abortion….Christianity has become a wedge that drives people from Christ, rather than drawing them to him….There are a growing number of Christians who believe the gospel calls us to be healers and bridge builders, not dividers.

    -- Adam Hamilton

• Brian McLaren - Why are so many religious people arguing...

  • Why are so many religious people arguing about the origin of the [human] species, but so few are concerned about the extinction of the species?

    -- Brian McLaren

• Jim Wallis - Faith is not just for the new life...

  • Faith is not just for the new life, the hereafter; it is precisely intended to transform the world in the here and now—otherwise, most of the Bible makes no sense at all.

    -- Jim Wallis

• Mike Slaughter - The time has passed when we can define
  ourselves on the tired old labels...

  • The time has passed when we can define ourselves on the tired old labels of conservative or liberal, evangelical or charismatic, Catholic or Protestant. All who have faith in Jesus belong to him. Everyone who serves the mission is a follower of his. It is time for all of us to CHANGE the WORLD together.

    -- Mike Slaughter
