Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions which cripple them, is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.
Martin Luther King Jnr
Jesus comes to you in the form of the beggar asking for help. He confronts you in every person that you meet. Christ lives in the form of a human being within us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
Desmond Tutu
His harshest words of judgment were for those who perpetuated systems of inequality and repression and who, through religion itself, thought they were sinless and untouchable.
Richard Rohr
The decisive time has arrived, for the conspiracy of love is rising up to challenge the unjust systems of the world. Change your whole way of thinking and living and risk everything for this radical message of love.
Kurt Struckmeyer's paraphrase of Mark 1.15
Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.
Paulo Freire
If your 'theology' doesn't result in more kindness, more grace, and more love for your fellow humans, then it is not the theology of Jesus.
Zack W Lambert.
If we are to disturb the future we must disturb the present.
Catherine Booth
Many people would like the poor to always say it is God's will that they are poor. It is not God's will for some people to have everything and others to have nothing. This cannot be of God.
Oscar Romero
Christians should give far more offence, shock the world far more than they are doing now. Christians should take a strong stand in favour of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
