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)

A beggarly people, A church and no steeple. (Quote by - Thomas Babington Macaulay)

God is moving outside the church walls. With radio, movies, TV, we weave faith and spirituality into the fabric of life outside church. (Quote by - Cameron Strang)

God never had a church but there, men say, The devil a chapel hath raised by some wiles, I doubted of this saw, till on a day I westward spied great Edinburgh's Saint Giles. (Quote by - William Drummond (1))

I remember sitting at the stoplight with my hands shaking and my chest pounding and I couldn't breathe. I'd get to church and dread getting out of the car. I'd get out but part of me stayed in the car while the other part went to church. (Quote by - Woody Leak)

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)

This crisis is real. We just listed the 66th church on our Web site that has withdrawn from the UCC since General Synod 25. In my conference, the Southern Conference, we have lost 70 of 300 churches in less than four years. We aim to give churches a reason to stay. (Quote by - Bob Thompson)

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 historic moment. We were the mother church to all Catholic churches in the area. This building is drenched in history and tradition. (Quote by - Dawn Smith)

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)

The perfect church service,would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God. (Quote by - C.S. Lewis)

God's design for the church is not one all white church one all black church. We're all supposed to be together, we're all one child of God. (Quote by - Gary Thompson)

We don't like to do church in a boring way. We want people to come, and if they feel their needs met here, great. If not, we'll refer them to another church. (Quote by - John Cannon)

These incidents did not occur on any church property and did not occur during any church-related activity. But, of course the church has no control over what happens in an individual's personal life. (Quote by - Chris Richey)

It's not offensive, but it might not quite be church material either. It is just not something you'd see your church perform, but it is something everyone can enjoy. (Quote by - Brad Marshall)

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)
