About the event
Shane Claiborne is a prominent speaker, activist, and best-selling
author. Shane worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, and founded
The Simple Way in Philadelphia. He heads up Red Letter Christians, a
movement of folks who are committed to living "as if Jesus meant the
things he said." Shane is a champion for grace which has led him to jail
advocating for the homeless, and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to
stand against war. Now grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty
and help stop gun violence.
Shane’s books include Jesus for President, Red Letter Revolution,
Common Prayer, Follow Me to Freedom, Jesus, Bombs and Ice Cream,
Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers, Executing Grace, his classic The
Irresistible Revolution, and his newest book, Beating Guns. He has
been featured in a number of films including "Another World Is
Possible" and "Ordinary Radicals." His books have been translated into
more than a dozen languages. Shane speaks over one hundred times a
year, nationally and internationally. His work has appeared in Esquire,
SPIN, Christianity Today, TIME, and The Wall Street Journal, and he
has been on everything from Fox News and Al Jazeera to CNN and
NPR. He’s given academic lectures at Harvard, Princeton, Liberty,
Duke, and Notre Dame.
Shane speaks regularly at denominational gatherings, festivals, and
conferences around the globe.
