Matt Haig
“Let’s just understand this. If we are tired or hungry or hungover, we are likely to be in a bad mood. That bad mood is therefore not really us. To believe in the things we feel at that point is wrong, because those feelings would disappear with food or sleep.”
Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

Kendall Vanderslice
“What is clear, no matter your theological persuasion, is that Jesus wants folks to eat together in his name. Jesus wants his followers to eat bread, drink wine, and feed others and, in that way, to participate in the restoration of a deeply broken creation.”
Kendall Vanderslice, We Will Feast: Rethinking Dinner, Worship, and the Community of God

Kendall Vanderslice
“The Creator carefully designed humans and animals with two primary needs: to draw nutrition and energy from food in order to sustain life and to find companionship in sharing life with others. The only thing God called “not good” in the initial act of creation was a human being alone. And because God created the world out of an overflow of delight, these most basic needs are fulfilled in the joyous act of commensality—eating together.”
Kendall Vanderslice, We Will Feast: Rethinking Dinner, Worship, and the Community of God

James H. Cone
“And yet the Christian gospel is more than a transcendent reality, more than “going to heaven when I die, to shout salvation as I fly.” It is also an immanent reality—a powerful liberating presence among the poor right now in their midst, “building them up where they are torn down and propping them up on every leaning side.” The gospel is found wherever poor people struggle for justice, fighting for their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
James H. Cone, The Cross and the Lynching Tree

Shane Claiborne
“Second-century Christian thinker Athenagoras wrote, “Our life does not consist in making up beautiful phrases but in performing beautiful deeds.”
Shane Claiborne, Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals
