Tony Campolo
A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.

Because of the increase in life longevity, America can now assume that at any given time three, and perhaps four, former presidents will still be alive, even when the current president is occupying the White House.
Tony Campolo
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.
Tony Campolo
Our call is to be God's agents, to rescue not only the human race but the whole of creation.

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