New Wine, New Wineskins

Tony Kriz

Tony Kriz served with a variety of international organizations including Campus Crusade for Christ for twelve years, living the majority of that time in Eastern Europe ministering to Muslims in Albania and the war-torn former Yugoslavia. He also ministered for several years on the radically liberal campus of Reed College in Portland, some of the exploits of which are described in Donald Miller’s best selling book Blue Like Jazz. He received a degree in historical Rhetoric from Oregon State University, a Masters of Divinity with an intercultural emphasis from Multnomah Biblical Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry from George Fox University. He regularly teaches classes including The Theology of Culture, Theology of Evangelism and Relational Apologetics. Tony is a frequent speaker at conferences, churches and college campuses across the country. He has been journeying with The Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins since its birth. Tony lives with his wife Aimee and their three sons (Malachi (7), Hudson (5) and Tristan (4)) in Portland, Oregon. Together they have been foundational participants of several spiritual communities which serve the disillusioned, artistic and dramatically post-Christian population of East Portland. Currently they are giving much of their time to urban missions: nurturing a monastic network, integrating a holistic gospel-life and serving as coach/consultants for Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO) and the Anglican Mission in America (AMIA).
