Churches

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
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

2.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

3.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

4.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

5.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

6.
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

7.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

8.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

9.
A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.
Selden, John

10.
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Havner, Vance

11.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

12.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

13.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
Fuller, Thomas

14.
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
Graham, Billy

15.
The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
Murdoch, Iris

16.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

17.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

18.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

19.
The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.
John Paul II

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.
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

22.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

23.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

24.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

25.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

26.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

27.
It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.
Austen, Jane

28.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

29.
A group touring Westminster Abbey in London heard the guide list the famous people buried within its walls. During a momentary silence a little old lady's voice blurted out loud and clear, Anybody been saved here lately?

30.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

31.
The root of almost every schism and heresy from which the Christian Church has suffered, has been because of the effort of men to earn, rather than receive their salvation; and the reason preaching is so commonly ineffective is, that it often calls on people to work for God rather than letting God work through them.
Ruskin, John

32.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

33.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

34.
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
Tozer, A. W.

35.
The church exists to train its member through the practice of the presence of God to be servants of others, to the end that Christlikeness may become common property.
Brown, William Adams

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

37.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

38.
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

39.
The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.
Moody, Dwight L.

40.
The Church cannot be content to live in its stained-glass house and throw stones through the picture window of modern culture.
Brown, Robert Mcafee

41.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

42.
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

43.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

44.
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

45.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

46.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

47.
A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
Mencken, H. L.

48.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

49.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

50.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.
