Remembering Desmond Tutu, anti-Apartheid cleric
One of Tutu's mentees shares how the leader restored his faith
Hi ReligionUnplugged readers,
Desmond Tutu died Sunday at the age of 90. Tutu was an Anglican bishop who preached nonviolence and fought tirelessly to end Apartheid in his native South Africa, for which he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
He was the first Black bishop of Johannesburg and later the archbishop of Cape Town. Tutu’s influence and mindset of peace are remembered by religious and political leaders across the globe. Senior contributor Clemente Lisi writes on these messages of remembrance.
Next, read our interview with Tutu’s mentee Saki Macozoma, who knew Tutu before he became archbishop. Macozoma, an anti-Apartheid activist and business mogul, shares about his relationship with Tutu and how he restored Macozoma’s Christian faith. Vicky Abraham, a South African contributor, talks to Macozoma here.
Happy New Year — we’ll see you in 2022! If you like what you read, share this with your family and friends.
