The Simple Way

Shane Claiborne | transcript |

Shane is a really interesting guy. He did some kind of internship or something with Mother Theresa, and basically just decided that it's really okay to live a life of poverty and to help people. He's founded a movement in Philadelphia called the Simple Way.

He only spoke for a short 30 minutes, Amy and I picked up his book, "Irresistible Revolution" to get a little more. I'd heard of him a couple of times already, my buddy who lives in Kyrgyzstan, Matt, also recommended the book.

Anyway - here are the two thoughts that I had written down from his talk.

"You should surround yourself with people who are like the person you would like to be."

"The church is like Noah's ark. It stinks sometimes. But if you get out, you're going to drown."
