Jefferson's religion has been a question mark for some time, but a descendant of his who did thorough research came to the conclusion that Jefferson was a conservative Unitarian. That's accurate. In church attendance, Jefferson probably led the pack. He liked church going and he liked to listen to speeches, he really was a devout man. When his daughter died his other daughter found him off by himself reading the Bible. (Quote by - David Holmes)
He is really down to earth, everyone knows him as Brother Hutchinson. In fact, he still drives the church van, picking families up to go to church. (Quote by - Malaika Hightower)
Typically, outside of churches there would be people selling religious souvenirs. There would be someone selling little prints of an image that might be in the church. They were treasured, worn by soldiers into battle, and became personal badges of affiliation. (Quote by - Martha J. Egan)
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)
I think seeing the church burn like that -- some of the hearts of some of the parishioners who have been there a long time went up in flames like the church. We know that we are the church. We the congregation, we are the body. We're intact. (Quote by - Pastor Daniel Sierra)
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. Kennedy as having said in 1960, I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. .. My question is: Do you?. (Quote by - Dianne Feinstein)
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)
I do not believe in the creed professed by any church that I know of. Each of these churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my part, I disbelieve them all. (Quote by - Thomas Paine)
It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church. (Quote by - Matthew (Mathew) Henry)
We met at church and played in the church music team together. We all dig the same kind of music. We're pretty much the same age, so it all just worked out. (Quote by - Romulo Costa)
We understand that not all churches can pull off canceling or relocating a service. We still consider some of those churches very supportive. (Quote by - Alan Greene)
Campbell is a good man, a pious man. I am afraid he has not been in the inside of a church for many years; but he never passes a church without pulling off his hat. This shows that he has good principles. (Quote by - Samuel Johnson)
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)
The first group of churches on the left side of the Jordan River symbolizes the earthly Jerusalem, and the churches on the right side of the Jordan River symbolize heavenly Jerusalem. And the Jordan River also symbolizes the baptism of the Jesus Christ. (Quote by - Daniel Tesfaye)
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)
Mission presidents are called by an inspired president of the church, after a review of the individual's church experience, his and his wife's family circumstances, their health, availability, knowledge of the church's doctrine and government, proven leadership experience and other factors. (Quote by - Scott Trotter)
A Mormon who offered some criticism of the church for placing too much emphasis on baptism statistics and not enough on retaining members, Dr. David Stewart Jr., said the church's hierarchy has begun responding to those concerns. We've had challenges in many areas of the world that many of the new converts have not remained active long-term in the church, .. 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)
In a time where we look at religion involved in church and state, I believe that this piece has contemporary relevance and provides much to think about when you see the play. I'm very excited about it. (Quote by - Jeff Church)
There are a lot of church members who have assisted immigrants- legal or not- the churches are open to helping the stranger among us. (Quote by - Stanley Campbell)
