Tony Anthony (born Andonis Andreou Athanasiou; 30 July 1971, [1] [2] [3] [4] name changed by deed poll in 1975 to Andonis Andrew Anthony, but known since childhood as Tony [5] ) is a British Christian evangelist. He became prominent following the 2004 publication of his autobiography, Taming The Tiger, in which he claimed to have been a violent criminal before converting to Christianity. The book was well received by the Christian community, and Anthony began an international ministry as an evangelist. [6] However, an independent investigation in 2013 concluded that large sections of the book are false. [1] [6] [7]

Contents

Early life and conversion

Tony Anthony was born in London. According to his books, his father is Italian, and his mother is Chinese, and he spent part of his childhood with relatives in Canton, China. He claimed to have been trained in kung fu by his grandfather, [8] [9] and that he won three Kung Fu world championships after returning to London, before working as a bodyguard and turning to violence and crime, including murder, after his fiancée died in a car accident. [8] [9]

He recounted that in 1989 he was arrested for burglary in Cyprus and was sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Central Jail of Nicosia, where his Buddhist upbringing did not give him much strength to endure the harsh conditions. [10] Over six months, he was visited every week by an Irish missionary, Michael Wright, and converted to Christianity. [11] They developed a friendship which continued after Anthony's release. [12]

He was sentenced again in 2001 to 15 months in prison in the United Kingdom for perverting the course of justice and other charges. [13] By his own version of events, his car had hit a female motorcyclist at night, killing her, but he had not stayed at the scene and later denied it to the police. [14] The person killed was Elizabeth Bracewell, sister to footballer Paul Bracewell. [13] [15] Anthony's wife, Sara, received a sentence of 120 hours of community service for her role in the cover-up. [15] When Anthony was jailed (as when he married) he used a false date of birth. [16]

Anthony set up Avanti Ministries in 2003 to support his evangelistic work (avanti is the Italian for 'go'). The organisation received charitable status on 3 June 2004. [8] [17]

In 2004, Authentic Media (then part of Christian publishers Send the Light and currently owned by the Australian company Koorong) published Anthony's autobiography, Taming The Tiger. [18] The book won the 2005 Christian Booksellers Convention award, was translated into 25 languages, and 1.5 million copies were distributed. [6] Taming The Tiger brought Anthony to the attention of Christians worldwide, who were enthralled by the conversion of such a violent criminal. [6] He travelled internationally to tell his story; video interviews were broadcast in Canada on 100 Huntley Street in 2005 [10] and 2011, [19] and in the Netherlands by Evangelische Omroep. [20] [21] Anthony was also the keynote speaker at the Global Day of Prayer event in London in 2010. [6] He was a member of the Leigh Road Baptist Church. [22]

Investigation

Concerns began to be expressed about Anthony's claims to have been a Kung Fu champion and violent enforcer. Christian journalist Gavin Drake writes:

Questions were asked about the authenticity of Taming the Tiger ever since it was first published in 2004. Critics were quick to point out that it reads like a work of fiction... [1] [2]

Users of a martial arts website also began to doubt Anthony's story, starting in 2007. [23]

Mike Hancock is credited with initiating the events that finally exposed Anthony. Hancock was appointed as a director of Avanti Ministries in December 2010, but received evasive answers when he asked for proof of Anthony's claims. Having failed to convince the other directors of the need to verify Anthony's story, he resigned in January 2012. Hancock then joined with another former director of Avanti Ministries, Geoff Elliott, who had similar concerns, Anglican church leader Carl Chambers, and prison chaplain David Buick, and together they sought to uncover the truth about Anthony. [1] [2] [24] Chambers created a website documenting his research into Anthony's claims. [3] Additional members of the group were Tony Pancaldi, Aaron Peterson and Jon Mason. Collectively, they became known as the Research Group.

In October 2012, the Research Group presented a detailed complaint to the Evangelical Alliance, an umbrella organisation of which Avanti Ministries was a member. [7] [25] Following discussions with the Alliance, Avanti Ministries agreed to set up an independent investigation conducted by a panel comprising three senior members of the Evangelical Alliance council. A joint press release issued by Avanti Ministries and the Evangelical Alliance on 12 July 2013 advised:

The panel produced its report on 26 June 2013 and concluded, based on the evidence submitted to it, that large sections of the book Taming the Tiger, and associated materials, which claim to tell the true story of Tony Anthony’s life, do not do so. [7] [26]

Avanti Ministries have refused to release the panel's report, citing confidentiality, but Gavin Drake has indicated that the Research Group challenged virtually all of Anthony's claims regarding his life prior to becoming a Christian. [1] [2] A comment by Steve Clifford, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, confirmed that the information available online comprises most of the issues raised in the original complaint. [27]

Specific aspects of Anthony's story that have been disputed include his birth in the early 1960s to an Italian father, his childhood in China, his training in Kung Fu and winning three world championships, and his role as a bodyguard and enforcer for international gangsters and diplomats. Drake indicated that Anthony confirmed that his real name is Andonis Andreou Athanasiou and he was born on 30 July 1971, which would make him too young to have participated in the events described in his book. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Subsequent events

On 16 July 2013, the Avanti Ministries board made public their decision to close down the organisation. [27] [28] Authentic Media, Anthony's publisher, also announced that they were withdrawing his materials from sale. [29]

In a statement published on his personal website, Anthony accepted that there were some errors in Taming the Tiger relating to his childhood, and claimed he was unaware of these details when the book was written. Anthony maintained that the substance of the book is true, but did not respond to the more significant allegations. [30] The statement was reported by the Christian Today website. [31]

On 30 August 2013, John Langlois OBE, the chair of the inquiry panel, released a strongly-worded letter expressing his concerns at the lack of transparency shown by Avanti Ministries. [32] He said that a statement from Avanti Ministries was "a deliberate deception" and explicitly accused Anthony of making false claims:

...I concluded that:

  1. Tony Anthony never went to China as a child as claimed,
  2. He was never involved in Kung Fu as claimed, and
  3. He was never involved in Close Protection as claimed. [32]

The inquiry's conclusion was reported in both secular and Christian media, with British national newspaper The Observer describing Anthony as a "serial fantasist". [6] Christianity printed a lengthy article about the investigation and its conclusions. [33] Other press coverage included Anthony's local newspaper the Southend Standard, [34] Reform magazine, [35] and French magazine Marianne . [36]

Following Avanti Ministries' refusal to release the report, and Anthony's trivialisation of the allegations, the Evangelical Alliance removed Avanti Ministries from membership on 19 September 2013. [37] A few days later, Anthony's former church, Leigh Road Baptist Church, released a statement indicating that they accept the findings of the inquiry and can no longer support his ministry. They confirmed that Anthony was no longer a member of this church. [38]

On 21 October 2013, the New Zealand Herald reported that Anthony was making a six-week visit to New Zealand, and that the NZ Christian Network, a similar organisation to the Evangelical Alliance, had issued a warning because Anthony's biography had been found to be '99 per cent false'. [39] The national leader of the Elim Pentecostal Church in New Zealand was reported as saying that they are suspending support for Anthony pending their own investigations. [40] [41]

On 25 March 2014, British Christian website The Way published an article in support of Anthony. The article referred to a subsequent investigation by Ian Bruce which concluded that the allegations made against Anthony were unjust, [5] and called on the Evangelical Alliance and Christianity magazine to apologise for them. [42] However, Gavin Drake (the journalist who wrote the 2013 report) concluded that Bruce's website did not cast doubts on his investigation or the Evangelical Alliance/Avanti panel. [43] Luke Hughes-Bunger, director of The Hub Christian Resource Centre which had published evidence related to the 2013 investigation, issued a further point-by-point response, concluding that Bruce's investigation had done further harm to Anthony's credibility. [44]

Republication of Taming The Tiger

On 9 July 2015, RoperPenberthy Publishing announced that they have published a revised edition of Anthony's autobiography, Taming The Tiger, and media interest in Anthony was reawakened. [45]

The first report was on the Christian Today website, dated 17 July 2015. It covered the earlier controversy, the republication of Taming The Tiger, and also pointed out discrepancies in a report on Anthony's website about a 2014 meeting at Royal Holloway University. The author concluded,

For the majority, the holes in his [Anthony's] story are simply too big for him to retain his credibility as an evangelical Christian witness. [46]

Premier Media (the parent company of Premier Christian Radio) followed, with an internet article dated 22 July 2015, again covering the events of 2013 and the republication of Taming The Tiger. [47] A day later, the Evangelical Alliance reiterated their previous statement that Anthony's claims had been found to be untrue. [48]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hung Ga</span> Chinese martial arts style

Hung Ga (洪家), Hung Kuen (洪拳), or Hung Ga Kuen (洪家拳) is a southern Chinese martial art belonging to the southern Shaolin styles. The hallmarks of Hung Ga are strong stances, notably the horse stance, or "si ping ma" (四平馬), and strong hand techniques, notably the bridge hand and the versatile tiger claw. Traditionally, students spent anywhere from several months to three years in stance training, often sitting only in horse stance from half an hour to several hours at a time, before learning any forms. Each form could then take a year or so to learn, with weapons learned last. In current times, this mode of instruction is generally considered impractical for students, who have other concerns beyond practicing kung fu. However, some instructors still follow traditional guidelines and make stance training the majority of their beginner training. Hung Ga is sometimes mischaracterized as solely external—that is, reliant on brute physical force rather than the cultivation of qi—even though the student advances progressively toward an internal focus.
