Tony Campolo
We are privileged to have Tony Campolo as this year's guest speaker. Tony is professor emeritus of sociology at Eastern University, a former faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, and the founder and president of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education. Dr. Campolo and his wife Peggy live near Philadelphia and have two children and four grandchildren.
Dr. Tony Campolo is an American pastor, author, sociologist, and public speaker known for challenging evangelical Christians by illustrating how their faith can offer solutions in a world of complexity. He has been a major proponent for thought and reform in the evangelical community. He has become a leader of the movement called "Red-Letter Christian", which claims to put the emphasis on the words of Jesus that are often in red type in Bible editions.
Campolo is an alumnus and Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University in St David's, Pennsylvania. He is a 1956 graduate of Eastern College, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary (now Palmer Theological Seminary) and earned a Ph.D. from Temple University. He is an ordained Baptist minister and evangelist, presently serving as an associate pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia. For ten years, he was a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Campolo founded the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education (EAPE), which works to help "at-risk" youth in the US and Canada, and has helped to establish several schools and universities. He is a frequent speaker at Christian conferences. He was also one of several spiritual advisers to President Bill Clinton.
He is the author of 38 books, with the latest releases in February 2010, Choose Love Not Power (Regal); May 2010 Connecting Like Jesus (Jossey-Bass) co-authored with Mary Albert Darling; and September 2010 Stories That Feed Your Soul (Regal).
Some of the recent titles are Red Letter Christians, A Citizen’s Guide to Faith and Politics (Regal 2/2008); The God of Intimacy and Action (Jossey-Bass 7/2007) co-authored with Mary Albert Darling; Letters to a Young Evangelical (Basic Books 2006).
Others are: Speaking My Mind; Let Me Tell You a Story: Life Lessons From Unexpected Places and Unlikely People; Which Jesus; Following Jesus Without Embarrassing God (all published by Thomas Nelson); Adventures in Missing the Point (Zondervan) co-authored by Brian McLaren; Revolution and Renewal (Westminster John Knox Press); The Church Enslaved (Fortress Press) co-authored by Michael Battle; Everybody Wants to Change the World, Practical Ideas for Social Justice (Regal) co-authored by Gordon Aeschliman; The Survival Guide for Christians on Campus (Howard) co-authored by Will Willimon, just to name a few.
