Tony Campolo dead

He was that rare thing, an American evangelical on the political left. Years ago, I read his book "20 hot potatoes Christians are afraid to touch". I wrote to him complimenting him on it, and got a very friendly reply.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I remember Tony Campolo from my Greenbelt days. It was the time also of Ron Sider and Rich Christians in an age of hunger I recall.
