I applaud the growing commitment of Evangelicals to the needs of the poor and oppressed in urban America.
Tony Campolo
A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.

In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.

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
The kingdom of God is a glorious and gigantic party!
Tony Campolo

Tony Campolo
But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.
Tony Campolo

Tony Campolo
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
Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
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 contend that, in spite of all that might be said about Watergate, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America.
Tony Campolo
If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?
