God is always on the side of the oppressed. To misunderstood this posture is to misunderstand all of Judeo-Christian history, theology and tradition
Nazarenes United for Peace.
Compassion and justice are the primary ethical fruits of the Christian life.
Marcus Borg
Charity is necessary. But Charity without justice is complicit in supporting systems that create the need for Charity.
Mark Sandlin
Kindness and justice are not synonymous. Be kind. And advocate and work for justice. Lives depend on it.
Bernice King
Let us not tire of preaching love. It is the force that will overcome the world.
Oscar Romero
Our language and theology are completely inadequate to name the eternal truth. The absolute best we can do is to claim that the Holy One can only be understood as love beyond all comprehension.
Caleb J Lines.
We walk into the mystery of God; we do not define that Mystery.
John Shelby Spong
A church which doesn't provoke any crisis, a gospel which doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is proclaimed - what gospel is that?
Oscar Romero
If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't as a Christian,simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try and wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If it's not about love, then it's not about God.
