We honor Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu in his name and work, as honored priest and prophet of his faith; self-giving servant of his people; theologian who placed the well-being of the world at the center of his thought and practice.
Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Laureate, thrust the church into the forefront of South Africa’s liberation struggle, and led the commission that confronted the country s violent past. He passed on Sunday.
