Quote by Alice Walker
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Summary
This quote highlights the personal interpretation and individual experience of spirituality. The speaker, Celie, expresses that she has not found God in the confines of a church but rather believes that God is found within oneself and brought into the church by the individuals who attend. It challenges the notion that church is the sole place to find God, instead emphasizing the importance of personal connection and the shared experience of spirituality among the community. It suggests that people come to church not to discover God but to collectively express and exchange their own understanding of the divine.
