More quotes by 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
A career public speaker is not what I'm called to be. I'm called to be a critic.
Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.

In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.
Tony Campolo
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?

Who's to say that there is any more support for Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego than there is for that old time religion that asserted that there is a God who ordains what is right and wrong, and that His righteousness endures for all generations?
Tony Campolo
If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical, everything would change.

Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.

The kingdom of God is a glorious and gigantic party!

The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.
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 not suggesting that all those missionary organizations working in Haiti should pack up and go home, but I am urging them to understand that Haiti does not need clever Americans with newly contrived schemes for saving their country.
Tony Campolo
Let us preach Christ, let us be faithful to proclaiming the Gospel, but let's leave judgment in the hands of God.
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
So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.
Tony Campolo
Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
Tony Campolo
I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless, and they should be called marriages.
Tony Campolo
As we consider the causes of depression, those of us in the church must face the ways we might be responsible for creating it.
