Dr. Tony Campolo will be speaking at the First Baptist Church of Moorestown on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. All are invited to join us for this special worship service.
Tony Campolo is a professor of sociology at Eastern University, and was formerly on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. For 40 years, he founded and led the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education, an organization that created and supported programs serving needy communities in the third world as well as in “at risk” neighborhoods across North America.
More recently, Campolo has provided leadership for the Red Letter Christians movement. He blogs regularly at his own website. Tony and his wife Peggy live near Philadelphia, and have two children and four grandchildren.
“…Because of my open concern for social justice, in recent years I have been asked the same question over and over again: Are you ready to fully accept into the Church those gay Christian couples who have made a lifetime commitment to one another? It has taken countless hours of prayer, study, conversation and emotional turmoil to bring me to the place where I am finally ready to call for the full acceptance of Christian gay couples into the church… As a Christian, my responsibility is not to condemn or reject gay people, but rather to love and embrace them, and to endeavor to draw them into the fellowship of the church,” Campolo said.
The First Baptist Church of Moorestown is located at 19 West Main Street in Moorestown. For more information, call (856)235–1180 or email us at [email protected]. You can also follow us on Facebook.
