Jim Wallis Children Quotations

We have got some mountains to move. Three billion people - half of God's children - are living on less than $2 a day.

At times I think the truest image of God today is a black inner-city grandmother in the United States or a mother of the disappeared in Argentina or the women who wake up early to make tortillas in refugee camps. They all weep for their children, and in their compassionate tears arises the political action that changes the world. The mothers show us that it is the experience of touching the pain of others that is the key to change.

I believe we could have removed Saddam Hussein from power without bombing the children of Baghdad.

We have got some mountains to move. Three billion people -- half of God's children -- are living on less than $2 a day. That's a big thing.

We are prophetic interrogators. Why are so many people hungry? Why are so many people and families in our shelters? Why do we have one of six of our children poor, and one of three of these are children of color? 'Why?' is the prophetic question.
