Shane Claiborne Co-Founder of the Simple Way.
Shane Claiborne is a co-founder and board member of The Simple Way, a faith community in inner city Philadelphia that has helped birth and connect radical faith communities around the world.
Claiborne graduated from Eastern University and did his graduate work at Princeton Seminary. In 2010, he received an Honorary Doctorate from Eastern. His adventures have taken him from the streets of Calcutta where he worked with Mother Teresa to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago where he served at the influential mega-church Willow Creek. As a peacemaker, his journeys have taken him to some of the most troubled regions of the world – from Rwanda to the West Bank – and he’s been on peace delegations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
His work has appeared in Esquire, SPIN, Christianity Today, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has been seen on everything from Fox News and Al Jazeera to CNN and NPR. He’s also given academic lectures at Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Liberty, Duke, and Notre Dame. Currently, Shane speaks regularly at denominational gatherings, festivals, and conferences around the globe.
