More quotes by Tony Campolo
I, for one, am quite willing to join the 'forgive, forget and move on' crowd, but it does make me wonder if Evangelicals are going to sound believable when they say that they tend to vote Republican because of their religious commitments to the family.
Tony Campolo
I'm not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians.
Tony Campolo
In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.

Of the 22 industrialized nations of the world, we're dead last in per capita giving to poor people.

President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?
Tony Campolo
I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.

A career public speaker is not what I'm called to be. I'm called to be a critic.
Tony Campolo
The gospel is not about... pie-in-the-sky when they die. ... It is imperative that the up and coming generation recognize that the biblical Jesus was committed to the realization of a new social order in this world.... Becoming a Christian, therefore, is a call to social action.
Tony Campolo
The kingdom of God is a glorious and gigantic party!
Tony Campolo
The two hot issues are the gay issue and the abortion issue. These are the two defining issues in the evangelical community these days. I'm sure that these hot buttons will be pushed, time and time again.

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids.
Tony Campolo
That's what they do in Europe. You go down to the city hall and you become legally connected. You have a civil union there. Then, if you're religious, you go down to the church, and the church blesses the union. That gets the problem solved.
Tony Campolo
Most Evangelicals claim to be politically non-partisan, and say they only identify with the Republican Party because the Republicans are committed to 'family values.
Tony Campolo
Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?'
Tony Campolo
Although I believe that scripture is divinely inspired and infallible, I have a hard time going along with the belief that the whole creation process occurred in six twenty-four hour days.
Tony Campolo
I am relatively sure, from conversations that I had with former president Bill Clinton, that George Bush seldom called upon him for advice.
Tony Campolo
Sadly, we do a much better job of making people feel guilty than we do of delivering them from the guilt we create. We need to confess this and change our ways.
Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.
Tony Campolo
I think the real place where most evangelicals have trouble with the Democratic Party is on the issue of abortion.
