The nearer the church, the further from God. (Quote by - Bishop Lancelot Andrews)
The stations of the cross in a Czech church run in reverse of what you would find in other churches.

(Quote by - Mary Rankin)

(Quote by - Frank Johnson)
Until our mission with the Christian Church is over, we must quote the Bible and use it to explain the Divine Principle.

There is a trend in evangelical Christianity to mark themselves off as different. They talk about a post denominational age. They are part of a group of churches that have a seeker mentality. They are trying to reach a group of folks that may not have a significant understanding of religion. They see the contemporary look of the church. It feels down-to-earth. It's non-threatening. It's really designed for folks to come in off the streets. (Quote by - Albert Miller)

(Quote by - Catherine Kelly)
I do not see it as a substitute for going to church. People go to church to congregate with other people. (Quote by - Steve Jones)
I grew up in the Baptist Church. But you know, when you work with superstars you are always concerned with stroking their egos. You have to tell them how great they are every day. After a while it gets kind of ridiculous. I wanted to do something with real people, so I went back to the church and the music I grew up with. (Quote by - Allen Bailey)
He had just served as the best man in a recent wedding. He was an adult volunteer who helped out at youth activities, which is a common practice in every church.

As a Fundamentalist I had discovered while I was in college that it is possible to dismiss the entire Church as having gone off the rails by about AD 95.

(Quote by - Thomas Howard)

One morning I read that and I said, 'That's just like the game of football.' It's not necessarily that the church had the richest people or the brightest people, but they had unity and they had oneness.

When his daughter died his other daughter found him off by himself reading the Bible. (Quote by - David Holmes)

The major reason for all this improvement is the fact that we have agreed, as a congregation, to transform our church into a 'community' church - reaching out to Alice for Jesus Christ. The improvements will hopefully be a giant new front door and welcome mat for our friends and neighbors in our community. (Quote by - Pastor Michael Birnbaum)
I think the Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic church have done a lot to change people's interest in Judaism. They're hearing from churches that it's a way to enhance their own faith. (Quote by - Robert Wexler)
I don't think it bothers the world if people in church sin. I think it bothers the world that people in church act like they don't. For some reason we (as Christians) feel that we have to act like we have it all together. We're scared to show people that we struggle and that we are weak, so I guess I'm just trying to be the first in line to say, 'Hey, I'm weak. I do dumb things every day, and it would be awesome to know that I wasn't alone in this. (Quote by - Mark Hall)

Church-state separation. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asked Roberts whether he believed in the separation of church and state as set forth in the First Amendment. She quoted President John F.

God spoke to me and told me I should make a library for my church, Woods Presbyterian, because I had all these boxes of books that wasn't doing anybody any good, they were just sitting there. God told me that this was something I could do to help others and hopefully get more young people interested in coming to the church. (Quote by - Frances Grigsby)
Spring Hill Church near Hebron has a kick. St. Martin's Church in Worcester County has a kick and cove, as does All Hallows in Snow Hill. Pemberton Hall, an 18th century house not far from Green Hill, also has the two features. That got us thinking Green Hill may have had a kick and cove, too. We found evidence -- though very faint -- of a corner cove molding and it really rings true when it was put back -- it looks right. The evidence remains on the timbers from where the kick was removed. (Quote by - Bill Wilson)
It's a tough political issue. Quite frankly, the law affords a lot of discretion to churches. But there should be some close scrutiny and difficult issues addressed when the churches are of a large magnitude such as Bethel Outreach. (Quote by - Nick Shelton)

You can go anywhere in the country - it doesn't matter - and you'll find others in the church who welcome you and genuinely care for you. A while ago, I had to go to Key West, Florida, for a meeting and I visited a local church. Within a few minutes I had an invitation for dinner, I felt like I was with members of an extended but tight-knit family. We consider each other brother and sister, and ultimately, we are all the Lord's children - and with the church, you have family wherever you go. (Quote by - Daniel Anderson)
I've always loved gospel, .. My mom was involved in church music. I sang a lot in church. It's an opportunity to learn music and sing uplifting music. (Quote by - Jack Hall)

Corporal works of mercy are no less important to the life of the Church than its sacramental ministry. Forbidding the Church to perform them is a serious blow to its religious liberty. Why would the government do that?. (Quote by - John Garvey)

Things now, this year, last year, are significantly better than they've been. (Quote by - David Stewart)
We didn't bring this church to the United States to be another Nigerian church. We are afraid with the way things are going in the world and in America -- allowing people to do what they like, creating their own religion and philosophy -- those people are going to pay for it. We don't want that to happen. (Quote by - Ajibike Akinkoye)

We like the integrity of this church's leadership, the wonderful sense of family and the warm welcome to new families. It's based in the Word of God and the Scriptures, and we also wanted our children to grow up in this church because of its wonderful children's ministry. And as our sons have grown up, they've wanted the same for their children. (Quote by - Anne Thomas)
The way we're being treated, it feels like we're celebrities. I've never been religious. I used to go to church off and on, but I promised myself if my fiancee and I got through this that I would start going to church from now on. We were saved by the grace of God. (Quote by - Brian Johnson)
We tried to reach all the churches in the county and everyone on the committee and on teams made sure that as many people and churches as possible know about Cancer Sunday.

The church's family program, in the final analysis, is God's program. In this sense, the church's proposal, while assuming the positive aspects of the United Nations' proposal, goes further, not in the sense that it sacrifices determined values and needs of so-called modernity, but in the sense that it offers a broader and richer vision. (Quote by - Dionigi Tettamanzi)
The black churches didn't lead on civil rights, either. Martin stood out there. Then the black churches came along. I believe it's the same thing with HIV. The Balm in Gilead is leading the call. (Quote by - Pernessa Seele)

Churches such as Pilgrim Baptist one of Chicago's most historic black churches, which recently burned in an accident have largely lost the vibrant community of middle-class blacks who built them up and now are struggling to attract a younger generation.

Being an African-American woman, I'd been faced with some ugly (racial) things in my life. When I went there, the home was so bright, and it was cheerful. It was amazing.

We have the unique distinction of being the only Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Anna in the United States - and her Shrine since we have her relic.

(Quote by - Father Christopher Flesoras)
We understand there are conflicts that sometimes leave people feeling hurt by others in the church, or other situations which have left people feeling isolated.

There were positive things about the church, that is, in the European cultural sense, the architecture, the liturgy, the music, the art, such as it was, the stations of the cross in the church, the tradition, and the atmosphere of awe and mystery in the mass. The atmosphere of miracle, one of mainly mystery, that's what fascinates me. (Quote by - Frank McCourt)
One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans. (Quote by - C.S. Lewis)
Part of the church's opposition might have been its pagan connotations. All along, the church has been uncomfortable with what I would call folk religion. But they could do little to stop it. (Quote by - Martha J. Egan)

When once thy foot enters the church, be bare. God is more there than thou: for thou art there Only by his permission. Then beware, That leads from earth to heaven. (Quote by - George Herbert)
The evil of the Church is the doing of Church work in a spirit of business, something to be got through. The only way to avoid this is for the priest to be instant in prayer.

The politicians have focused so much on the mega-churches in the county from a land use perspective until they have not looked at the contributions being made by the smaller churches.

I live here in Seymour and my daughter and I are very active in our church. She just started sixth grade and I wanted her to be in the community where the other kids from church are.

I owe my nurture to evangelicalism. The evangelical wins hands down in the history of the church when it comes to nurturing a biblically literate laity.

But evangelicals themselves would say that they have never come to grips with what the whole mystery of the church is. (Quote by - Thomas Howard)
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; / The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.

Stan Kennedy, a local piano tuner and a killer guitarist, was asked to teach classes at the Excel Program, a music class at Emmanuel Christian School in Hartsville.

Tomorrow's God says that every church is 'his church,' and every faith is 'her faith,' and every soul is God's soul, because it shares the same soul with God! .. And no person or living thing in the universe stands outside the community of God. (Quote by - Neale Donald Walsch)
There was a double-wide mobile home directly across from (New Prospect Baptist) church, .. The mobile home even had tie-down straps on it, but it was thrown clear across the highway. Part of the mobile home struck the church, and part of the frame ended up in the woods behind the church. (Quote by - John Robinson)
Even when they released the 'Memory and Reconciliation' document, the Vatican made clear that there were different camps inside the church, some of whom felt the church was going too far in its apology and others who believe it hadn't gone far enough. Although this pope has gone a lot further than any in history toward acknowledging corporate responsibility on the part of the church, he's pushing against significant opposition, and the outcome will still be regarded as insufficient in some quarters. (Quote by - David Van Biema)
We met the first day and sang in the choir together. We played guitar at churches. We used to borrow the priests' guitars and take the microphones from church to sing. So many times we would sing in the bathrooms in Cathedral because the acoustics were awesome. (Quote by - Robert Vega)
Well, maybe if you had told me that before I ate church's I'd probably wouldn't have stopped at Church's. (Quote by - Frank Powell)
The Anglican Communion needs the Episcopal Church. I would be so bold as to say that the reverse is also true. The Episcopal Church needs the Anglican Communion. The ACC needs the Episcopal Church. (Quote by - John Paterson)
I was brought up in the church, went to church a lot and believe in God. I don't do wrong on purpose. I will slip up and I make mistakes but that's part of life. The most important thing is not to continuously make the same mistake and I am quite a compassionate person. I hate to see children suffer and people suffer. If I can help someone I will. One promise I made is that if I become as successful as I want to be and wealthy I will adopt deprived kids to give them a better life, and I want to have children of my own as well. (Quote by - Nigel Reo-Coker)
The goal all along is to match church with church, government leader with government leader. (Quote by - Steve Wingfield)

(Quote by - Arlen Spector)

This Campaign will provide a voice for Americans who believe in both a free church and a free state.

That is what the founders of America meant to insure when they separated church from state. (Quote by - Ira Glasser)
We argued that this was not just a small, little neighborhood church. It is a Christian ministry, .. It was extremely important to that church that they would have visibility from the highway to conduct all those operations and to build their membership. (Quote by - Leslie Fields)
The Church does not invent sins but recognizes the will of God and has to declare it. Of course, the great thing.. is that upon the Church, which has to declare the will of God in its full magnitude, in its unconditional rigor, so that man should know his true measure, is bestowed as a gift, at the same time, the task of forgiving. (Quote by - Joseph Ratzinger)
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches. (Quote by - St. Thomas Aquinas)
The Jewish Anti-Defamation League is unhappy with what's contained in 'Memory and Reconciliation,' because they believe it still fails to admit the church's corporate responsibility for any complicity in the Holocaust. It lays the blame on flawed humans -- although the document uses the term 'generations' to imply this wasn't simply a few bad apples -- rather than admitting any flaws on the part of the church itself. (Quote by - David Van Biema)
I am grateful for the outpouring of support from churches around the nation who have partnered with local churches to offer not only help, but hope to the people whose lives have been turned upside down by Katrina and the tragic events that followed. (Quote by - Tony Perkins)

I know some of the churches are planning their schedules Sunday around the new time, so it would be nice if the clock downtown reflected that on people's drive to church Sunday morning. (Quote by - Wayne Kramer)

The importance of the Bible to a church is to keep the church on track. The role of the Constitution in government is to keep the government on track. (Quote by - Ted Haggard)

This is a man who will make fidelity to the church's teachings central to his papacy, but I don't think he will hammer people over the head. I think he will invite people to accept the Lord and accept the Church, and I just think this is wonderful news. (Quote by - David O'Connell)
We are in the process of building a church. Hopefully this way we can start out doing good works on that land even before the church is built. (Quote by - Melissa Allen)
Church members generally are not geared that way. If things got really out of hand, they might demand some explanations, but generally the members of the church would view it as an isolated incident. You know, forgive and forget. (Quote by - Don Evans)
Some hypocrites and seeming mortified men, that held down their heads, were like the little images that they place in the very bowing of the vaults of churches, that look as if they held up the church, but are but puppets. (Quote by - William Laud)

Are we going to be able to hand out voting guides? Probably not with the same impact - not with the same effect. Because we can sit in the church and have Republicans and Democrats and independents who believe that basically we're all trying to work for a better world and a more just world - and we can have conversations about this. And we do that all the time in our more progressive churches. (Quote by - Fred Plumer)
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Quote by - Bible)

It's unfortunate that churches can't abide by the same rules that anybody else has to abide by. That's all were asking for. You wouldn't want a super Wal-Mart or a giant-sized church placed in a small residential community. (Quote by - Susan Kennedy)
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; / That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, / That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Quote by - Bible)

To support those of your rights authorized by Heaven, destroy everything rather than yield; that is the spirit of the Church. (Quote by - Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux)

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.

(Quote by - Craig Detweiler)
There have to be regulations on churches .. because of size problems and parking problems. You can't put a church wherever you want it. (Quote by - Sandy Greenberg)

The church in the book (and movie) plays a pivotal scene. We looked everywhere .. I mean everywhere! We had to have enough of a front yard area to house a Nativity scenes.

And I was in the car with the director and we drove by the church. (Quote by - Eric Newman)

I firmly believe that's why they never talked to us and they never got a development order. (Quote by - Jay Anderson)

What is a church? Let Truth and reason speak, They would reply, "The faithful, pure and meek, From Christian folds, the one selected race, Of all professions, and in every place. (Quote by - George Crabbe)
We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people.

It's a matter of someone doing the legwork to contact those churches and have them put it in every Sunday bulletin, .. And these are economically feasible ways to advertise.

Churches are often looking for ways to make their facilities available through the week in their communities. (Quote by - Bill Purcell)

People came into the Church in the Roman Empire because the Church was so good-Catholics were so good to one another, and they were so good to pagans, too. High-pressure evangelization strikes me as an attempt to deprive people of their freedom of choice. (Quote by - Andrew Greeley)
Everyone else on the team were members of St. John Episcopalian Church or other Episcopalian churches in the Montgomery area. We were the only non-Episcopalians involved, but we felt very welcome. (Quote by - Rachel Taylor)
I remember that campaign. I was 14 years old, and I lived in Houston, Texas, and my pastor came back to our Baptist church and from the pulpit, he said: 'I have good news! President Kennedy told us that on public-policy issues, his church doesn't speak for him and he doesn't speak for his church. And that he's going to separate his Catholicism from his service if he's elected.' And people applauded all across the auditorium. They just thought it was a great thing. (Quote by - Richard Land)
The five pro-abortion public officials highlighting today's 20th anniversary luncheon for Emily's List each need to hear the Catholic Church's teachings about abortion, ..

This is a national treasure. It's part of Mark Twain's national legacy and his legacy in Nevada. What is at risk is a building that is 140 years old. It's a building that has value to the nation but not, apparently, to the church. Tearing it down and starting over might be in the best interests of the Presbyterian Church, but it is not in the best interests of the American people. (Quote by - Guy Rocha)
For me Christianity is about the Kingdom, not about the Church: it has to do with human growth and development not church growth and development. (Quote by - Michael Taylor)

Renovations will slowly modify and improve the church. We're going to keep a lot of things as they are. We have no intentions of losing any of the beautiful church architecture. (Quote by - Louis Zona)

He talks of relativism .. the smorgasbord of beliefs he sees unfolding, and he is concerned the church will be assimilated if there is not an effort to resist it. That effort may not fill up churches right away, or win popularity contests. .. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but it's the framework he's operating under. (Quote by - John Allen)
I call this my church house trilogy. Souls' Chapel really was music from the Mississippi Delta, which to me is a church within itself. The Delta is the church of American Roots music. The Badlands is a cathedral without a top on it. And the Ryman has been called the Mother Church of Country Music, but to me it's the Mother Church of American Music. If you can think it up, it's been done there. In my mind, this is kind of a spiritual odyssey as much as anything else, and I had the settings of three churches to make it in. (Quote by - Marty Stuart)

After the 9/11 attacks, attendance at Living Word Church swelled for several Sundays and a few people found salvation in Christ.

If you start with the assumption that people go to church to steal from the offering plate, you'd make people very uncomfortable. After a while, they're going to stop going to your church. (Quote by - Andy Hernandez)
Making contacts direct ? church to church, individual to individual ? is producing the delivery of services much more quickly than government agencies can do it, .. We're really meeting some needs that are urgent. (Quote by - Merrill Oster)

I think that First Baptist Church would be a very positive addition to the area. My family, if we wanted, would be able to walk to the church. (Quote by - Bill Green)
There is a lot of good news to report in terms of how far Black ministers have come on the subject of HIV and AIDS. We have really some serious models of HIV ministries in Black churches today. But, certainly there are far too many Catholics who are still not addressing the issues. But we can certainly point to some AIDS ministries with denominational leaders who are actively giving their voice to HIV. There's movement. There's major movement among the Black churches on AIDS and HIV. (Quote by - Pernessa Seele)
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges. (Quote by - George Carey)
Above and beyond giving a mea culpa, John Paul II will attempt to frame what the church means by a mea culpa. His belief that the church strengthens itself through a frank acknowledgment of past sins is a remarkable thing. But the Vatican is also being careful to make clear that this isn't simply a spectacular act of self-flagellation before hostile outsiders; it's about the church's need to express regret and ask for God's pardon rather than to satisfy outsiders. (Quote by - David Van Biema)
Probably after Vietnam and Watergate, there was an increasing distrust of institutions, so that Jesus was still in, but the institutional church was no longer an attraction. So, I think that the dropping of the denominational label is to become more generic, less of a threat, less of a reminder of negative stereotypes if you've walked away from church. (Quote by - Eddie Gibbs)
We will move forward as a church. I don't know how, when, why, where, or what's going to happen, but we will continue as a church in the community, because that is what Kyle would have wanted. (Quote by - Ben Dudley)
It's a new beginning for the church. Everyone really liked the old church, but it's a good time to expand with 19-hundred families in the parish. (Quote by - Ryan Stone)
It was sponsored by several what you would call 'lapsed Catholic politicians' who have become very hostile to the Catholic Church in recent times. So they wanted to get back at the Catholic Church for doing that. (Quote by - Brian Camenker)
For me, it's church and state, not church in state, and I really feel there are some churches in central Ohio crossing that line. (Quote by - Eric Williams)
But churches have been actively involved in aiding people who are breaking the law. Churches should not expect to be exempt when they're disobeying the law. (Quote by - Ira Mehlman)
