Faith Community Quotes

• Como creyentes, corremos juntos la carrera. Estamos unidos por nuestra fe en Dios y nuestro amor por el mundo al que Él envió a Cristo para salvar. Así que si uno se debilita, nosotros lo llevamos. No estamos llamados a dejar de avanzar. No estamos llamados a criticarnos unos a otros. No, estamos llamados a animarnos los unos a los otros, a ayudarnos mutuamente y a seguir adelante.

• Bill Maher is right to condemn religious practices that violate fundamental human rights. Religious communities must do more to counter extremist interpretations of their faith. But failing to recognize that religion is embedded in culture — and making a blanket judgment about the world’s second largest religion — is simply bigotry.

• I think communities of faith are extremely important in this question. I think that all faith communities share a common and unusual distinction in our time of being the only institutions left that can posit some goal other than accumulation for human existence. I think that's enormously important because it is that drive for consumption more than anything else that fuels the environmental devastation around us.

• La primera dama de Uganda es una devota evangélica y muy querida por la comunidad religiosa. En una conferencia evangélica en Argentina, un ministro dijo: "Mamá Janet nos ha dado las llaves de África". Lo ha hecho creando una nación que ha abrazado una forma dominionista de cristianismo que cree que los cristianos tienen el derecho otorgado por Dios de gobernar el mundo.

• the way in which a faith community shapes language about God implicity represents what it takes to be the highest good, the profoundest truth, the most appealing beauty. ... While officially it is rightly and consistently said that God is spirit and so beyond identification with either male or female sex, yet the daily language of preaching, worship, catechesis, and instruction conveys a different message: God is male, or at least more like a man than a woman, or at least more fittingly addressed as male than as female.

• For people who cannot get to church for various reasons, this is a great option. But it will always be a poor substitute for joining the faith community in person. Surely, the church experience is about more than a message. We are always better off together than flying solo. Godcasting is a supplement, not a substitute for weekly worship.
