I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
- Carey, George
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Walker, Alice

2.
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
King Jr. Martin Luther

3.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

4.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

5.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

6.
An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches with spire steeples which point as with a silent finger to the sky and stars.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

7.
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin

8.
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say I know instead of I am learning, and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity.
Shaw, George Bernard

9.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

10.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

11.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

12.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

13.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

14.
Mass ought to be in Latin, unless you could do it in Greek or Chinese. In fact, any abracadabra that no bloody member of the public or half-educated ape of a clargimint could think he understood.
Pound, Ezra

15.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

16.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

17.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

18.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

19.
I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
Swift, Jonathan

20.
A woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.
Daly, Mary

21.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

22.
The priesthood in many ways is the ultimate closet in Western civilization, where gay people particularly have hidden for the past two thousand years.
Spong, John

23.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

24.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

25.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

26.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

27.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

28.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

29.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone

30.
The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

31.
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded; it is supposed to be one-pointed -- a compass, not a weathercock.
Huxley, Aldous

32.
We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.
Cheever, John

33.
Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labor, and we will give you work.
O'Casey, Sean

34.
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world -- it's better than being invisible.
Heyward, Carter

35.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

36.
A little, round, fat, oily man of God.
Thomson, James

37.
If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realize that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.
O'Casey, Sean

38.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

39.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

40.
It's about time we quit playing church in these services that start at eleven o clock sharp and end at twelve o clock dull.
Havner, Vance

41.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

42.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

43.
Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.
Norman, Edward

44.
How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is I will see you in the vestry after service.
Smith, Sydney

45.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

46.
The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership.
Morrison, Charles C.

47.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

48.
A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
Hazlitt, William

49.
Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.
Ratzinger, Cardinal Joseph

50.
Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.
Calvin, John
