Hear Dr. Tony Campolo as he lays a foundation for faith-based urban economic development. Drawing from his highly-acclaimed book, Revolution and Renewal: How Churches are Saving Our Cities, Dr. Campolo brings theological and sociological insight into practical solutions for urban transformation.
This 3-DVD set (approx. 4 hrs.) was recorded live during the Opening Lectures of the Fall Residency at the School for Social Change, Eastern University--Philadelphia in 2004.
* Disc One: The Idea of Race: Structural Evil * Disc Two: Jobs and the Church * Disc Three: The Work Ethic and Value Judgments
Lecture topics include: * Understanding the urban crisis; * Biblical imperatives for addressing the problems of the cities; * The church as the "lead institution" for positive social change; * Political dynamics and defining the Christian as a political activist; * Ecological and demographic structure; * Urban historical development; * Behavioral patterns of urban dwellers.
At a time when government is turning to faith-based organizations to address urban problems, these lectures prove vitally important.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Discs are compatible with DVD-Video formats only, not with DVD-ROM (computer) formats.

I Love this Video and also I checked out your Channel. Very interesting! If you need any help getting this Video and your Channel exposed to were it is top in all the search I found this site called tubeviews.(net) that has took my breath away. I'm working on my 4th Channel now, this one I just made. My Videos are getting so many hits now. Check it out and keep in touch.
I was skepic about this service, but wow lol, not any more!
What on earth am I doing??!! I have fallen for a trap of thinking I could convince a Brit that a liberal Christian is a bad thing. What was I thinking?? Christendom as a whole has thrown off the adherence to the original Word of God as it has thrown off the Holiness teachings of Wesley and others. Abandoned for a social Gospel. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
I don't know what my being a Brit has to do with anything. And yes, I'm used to the out of context quotes about Tony. If they concern you I'd recommend you emailing him for his views. Yes, I agree with what Wesley said. That's why I became a Methodis. But I'm tired of hearing that Chrisitan duty to the poor doesn't extend to our ability to influence our rulers, especially on issues of trade justice, etc. We can lobby to display the 10 commandments in a court house but not to help the poor!
Tiny: I'm sorry that you've never had the chance to speak with Tony in person. I've had the pleasure of knowing him for years and can say with great confidence that despite your theological differences, he would treat you with respect and kindness. He lives his faith and is very humble. That more Christians would follow his example..
Yes, many socialists are fine people. Bill Clinton and BHO (B Husein Obama) claim to be Christians too. They also seem like very humble people who light up the room w/their humility and friendly nature. They also treat others (upon meeting them face to face) with respect and kindness. He tried to preach politics to my church's youth...just kids...at our international youth convention as far back as 84. Regardless, I think he's a nice guy although a VERY liberal Christian (oxymoron).
"Beyond these models of reconciliation a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam. Both religions have within their histories examples of ecstatic union with God ... I do not know what to make of the Muslim mystics, especially those who have come to be known as the Sufis. What do they experience in their mystical experiences? Could they have encountered the same God we do in our Christian mysticism?" -Tony Campolo "Speaking My Mind", pages 149-150
He relies on the wisdom of a man who doesn't even believe in the Lordship of Jesus there. Here's another one: ""I am saying that there is no salvation apart from Jesus; that's my evangelical mindset. I am not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians" -Tony Campolo (National Liberty Journal, 8/99) "Jesus is the only Savior, but not everybody who is being saved by Him is aware that He is the one who is doing the saving" -Tony Campolo EP News Service, Oct. 4, 1985 Anthony Campollo: a new ager.
