Tony may not fit my notion of a Spirit-filled intimate with Jesus. But he walks the walk a LOT better than a lot of pastors I've met.

He and his group more or less turned some Caribbean country around fairly wholesale via their sacrificial giving and thoughtful interventions.

He and fellow yuppies live on about 20% of their salaries adn devote the rest to well thought-out selfless Christian gifts and works.

And, he certainly seems to believe that Christ came in the flesh; died for our sins and rose the 3rd day etc.--all the basic doctrines of the faith.

He's a sociologist. Has more of a liberal political bent, perspective than I'd prefer by a long shot. But he's not a loon.

Our men's group went through 3 or 4 of his books in Taipei very candidly. We all came away respecting him more than I, at least, did before that.

I don't know about him walking the walk but when he is talking he sounds like a flat out loon. You ever seen video of him TALKING? I admit he is good for LAUGHS but only because he sounds like a complete NUTCASE.

Haiti?

Campolo's theology is sound, but he is an out and out Liberal politically.

His sermons are OK, but when he speaks of social issues, he has a Liberals tendency to confuse God with goverment.
