Happy Birthday Archbishop Tutu!
What a wonderful birthday milestone to celebrate and no one deserves it more than Archbishop Tutu!
Still working tirelessly for oppressed people, wherever they are on earth, whatever the colour of their skin or their creed, Desmond Tutu speaks out against all injustice, but of course particularly when he sees wrong-doing in his own beloved South Africa. Thank goodness there is someone who will sound out the warning bell against transgressions, but always with such calm, measured tones that make you sit up and take notice.
I once heard Archbishop Tutu speak at church in Milnerton, Cape Town one Christmas a couple of years ago, when the incumbent father was on his vacation. He is truly inspirational to listen to, in fact, I didn’t want him to finish! Of course everything good has to come to an end at some time and I shall remember forever his warm handshake as he left the church. He made it feel as if there was only me he was interested in shaking hands with! For that instant he was focused solely on me. What grace.
Tutu is such a charismatic gentleman he deserves all the wonderful accolades that have been paid to him over the last few days. I for one, would like to add my voice to the rest of the world in wishing Archbishop Tutu a very happy birthday and for many more to come!
if you would like to hear Archbishop Tutu speak, why don’t you get his CD’s.� He has recorded his book and it makes facinating listening.� Some of the profits go to his charity as well, so go on, spread a little happiness!� I’ve taken the photo below from the front cover of the CD’s, as I love the look of mischief on his face!
