ABOUT TOKENS SHOW & LEE C. CAMP

Tokens began in 2008. Our philosophical and theological variety shows and events hosted throughout the Nashville area imagine a world governed by hospitality, graciousness and joy; life marked by beauty, wonder and truthfulness; and social conditions ordered by justice, mercy and peace-making. We exhibit tokens of such a world in music-making, song-singing, and conversations about things that matter. We have fun, and we make fun: of religion, politics, and marketing. And ourselves. You might think of us as something like musicians without borders; or as poets, philosophers, theologians and humorists transgressing borders.

Lee is an Alabamian by birth, a Tennessean by choice, and has sojourned joyfully in Indiana, Texas, and Nairobi. He likes to think of himself as a radical conservative, or an orthodox liberal; loves teaching college and seminary students at Lipscomb University; delights in flying sailplanes; finds dark chocolate covered almonds with turbinado sea salt to be one of the finest confections of the human species; and gives great thanks for his lovely wife Laura, his three sons, and an abundance of family and friends, here in Music City and beyond. Besides teaching full-time, he hosts Nashville’s Tokens Show, and has authored three books. Lee has an Undergrad Degree in computer science (Lipscomb University,1989); M.A. in theology and M.Div. (Abilene Christian University, 1993); M.A. and Ph.D. both in Christian Ethics (University of Notre Dame, 1999)

ABOUT LAUREN SMELSER WHITE

Lauren is a Ph.D. in theology from Vanderbilt University, and more importantly, she is an Alabama native, with roots and relations in the northern reaches of the state, where the swampers would do their magic in the Muscle Shoals music scene, and indeed, where Bob Dylan recorded his 1979 album Slow Train Coming. Lauren also happens to be a colleague of Lee Camp’s in the academic scene, and a delightful one at that. She has also blogged on occasion on the Tokens Show blog.
