 
A different kind of campaign. A different kind of party. A different kind of Commander in Chief. Teaching, storytelling, art, music, and liturgy to provoke the political imagination.
Shane Claiborne is a prominent activist, sought-after speaker, and writer. He
travels extensively to speak about peacemaking, social justice, and Jesus.
Claiborne is one of the
founding members of The Simple Way (www.thesimpleway.org), a community in
inner-city Philadelphia that has helped birth and connect radical faith
communities around the world, many of which have become known as "new
monasticism" communities. Claiborne graduated from Eastern University and did graduate
work at Princeton Seminary. His ministry experience is varied, from a 10-week
stint working alongside Mother Teresa in Calcutta, to a year spent serving at
Willow Creek Community Church outside Chicago, and three weeks in Baghdad
with the Iraq Peace Team. He is the author of The Irresistible Revolution (Zondervan,
2006). 
Chris Haw is an aspiring potter, carpenter, painter, and theologian. Haw and
his wife, Cassie, are members of Camden House, a community in Camden, New
Jersey. He grew up Catholic, spent many years growing and serving at Willow
Creek Community Church outside of Chicago, and a few months studying ecology
and theology while living in Belize. Haw now enjoys periodically teaching at
various congregations, conferences, and classes, as well as hosting small
conferences on "the new monasticism." He works through the intersection of
challenges like post-industrial ecology, economic redistribution, dissolution
of community life in America, biblical formation, and ecumenical dialogue.
