Church Quotes

Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education?

But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.

At home and in church - which I didn't go to a lot, I was very rebellious, but my family was strict Christians - they would ask us, 'What's the shortest verse in the Bible?' and I was the one who always said 'John 11:35' straightaway. It stayed with me: the Bible has stayed with me.
Benjamin Clementine

When you grow up in the church, the only translation in that insular world that people understand is preaching. You're supposed to be a minister. So I was going down that path, and then I saw the Tonys.
