He also chaplained 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 and a Masters of Divinity with an intercultural emphasis from Multnomah Biblical Seminary.  Tony is currently working on a Doctorate in Spiritual Formation.   He regularly teaches classes including The Theology of Culture, Communicating the Gospel in a Postmodern Age and Relational Apologetics.
