Tony Campolo

Speakers at Greenbelt 2012

Today we’re pleased to announce that prolific campaigner Peter Tatchell, 38 Degrees director Hannah Lownsborough and sociologist and author Tony Campolo are the latest additions to this year’s Talks lineup.

Having been described as a “modern-day prophet” by Bishop Richard Holloway and recently celebrates 45 years campaigning (as well as his 60th birthday!), Peter Tatchell returns to the festival.

He will be joined by campaigns director at online campaign community 38 Degrees, Hannah Lownsbrough and professor, author and Greenbelt veteran, Tony Campolo.

Elsewhere in the programme, we can announce that BBC Radio 4’s hit show Any Questions will be broadcast live from the festival and following their incredible reception at Greenbelt 2011, the Rend Collective return.

Tickets for this year’s festival are available at early-bird rates until the end of April.

(Tony Campolo last spoke at Greenbelt in 2001, his talks What can we do about homophobia? and What can we do about poverty? are available to download free of charge as part of our media archive.)

    Campolo’s back! Brilliant – we just need Rev. John Smith, now! It’s also VERY interesting to see that BBC Radio 4’s ‘Any Questions’ will have a part to play…
