I just go where the life is, you know? Where I feel the Holy Spirit. If it's in the back of a Roman Catholic cathedral, in the quietness and the incense, which suggest the mystery of God, of God's presence, or in the bright lights of the revival tent, I just go where I find life. I don't see denomination.

Bono

Der 1960 geborene irische Musiker Bono ist Leadsänger der Rockband U2 und als weltweiter humanitärer Aktivist tätig. Sein öffentliches Wirken verbindet den Einsatz gegen Armut und Ungerechtigkeit mit einem überkonfessionellen Glauben, der biblische Motive von Gnade und sozialer Verantwortung hervorhebt. Für Bibelleser steht er für einen unkonventionellen, gesellschaftsrelevanten Glauben, der zugleich im Spannungsfeld zu öffentlicher Kritik an Steuergestaltungen und elitenorientiertem Prominenten-Aktivismus steht.

I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.

Philip Yancey

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
