Tony Campolo to shutter his 40-year-old ministry
Tony Campolo, a progressive evangelical leader who counseled President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, has announced that the organization he founded nearly 40 years ago will close on June 30.
Campolo, 78, plans to retire with the closing of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education, but he will continue to write and speak, with nearly 200 engagements scheduled for 2014.
In his announcement January 14 he said his health is fine and he wants to write one more book on how Christianity fits with the social sciences.
