More quotes by Tony Campolo
I've always been skeptical of those television healers who are bald. If I had that gift, that'd be the first thing I'd fix.

I contend that Bush would be a lot more moderate if there weren't some fundamentalists breathing down his neck every time he wants to establish the state of Israel, every time he wants to do justice for the Palestinian people.

I applaud the growing commitment of Evangelicals to the needs of the poor and oppressed in urban America.

What I am trying to say is that Jesus who incarnated God 2,000 years ago is mystically present and waiting to be discovered in EVERY person you and I encounter
Tony Campolo
The kingdom of God is a glorious and gigantic party!
Tony Campolo
Most of us are tiptoeing through life so we can reach death safely. We should be praying, If I should wake before I die. . . . Life can get away from you.

Perhaps we would do well to listen to the likes of Rabbi Harold Kushner, who contends that God is not really as powerful as we have claimed.
Tony Campolo
My theology is such that the God who loves Israel and will not forsake Israel - which is why I want to see Israel have a secure nation with secure borders - also loves the Palestinians.
Tony Campolo
I contend that, in spite of all that might be said about Watergate, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America.
Tony Campolo
