Healing Tent Evangelist

Famous quotes containing the words healing, tent and/or evangelist:

    When pain of the world surrounds us with darkness and despair,
    When searching just confounds us with false hopes ev’rywhere,
    When lives are starved for meaning and destiny is bare,
    We are called to follow Jesus and let God’s healing flow through us.
    Jim Strathdee (20th century)

    There’s more than just animals:
    Bead-stalls, balloon-men, a Bank; a beer-marquee that
    Half-screens a canvas Gents; a tent selling tweed,
    And another, jackets.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Parisians are so besotted, so silly and so naturally inept that a street player, a seller of indulgences, a mule with its cymbals, a fiddler in the middle of a crossroads, will draw more people than would a good Evangelist preacher.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
