Archbishop Desmond Tutu, retired Archbishop of Capetown, South Africa, our man for all seasons in the Anglican Communion and God's gift to the whole world, appeared on the Sunday Forum yesterday at the National Cathedral Centennial Celebration in Washington, DC. A video of a his conversation is available. It's nearly one hour long, but it was one of the best hours that I ever spent in my life. Tutu is surely one of God's saints who walk the earth at the present time. He radiates the love of God and enthusiasm for the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ, handed down by the saints through the ages.
How many times do we watch TV for an hour and come away feeling that we have wasted our time? You won't waste your hour with Desmond Tutu.
ok, you convinced me! I still remember when Tutu was on the daily show, and Jon Stewart said, "I think you are the nicest man I've ever met."
ReplyDeleteDiane, you won't regret it. Listen especially to what he ways about prayer.
ReplyDeleteGrandmere mimi, I am thrilled that you found the Tutu video as inspirational as I did last night. He truly is a saint! Glad I could connect you with the video.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the next time the MP Fan Club meets in NYC I hope I am able to meet you wonderful folks in person.
Whiteycat, welcome. I was moved to tears during the video. Abp. Tutu is a loving and beautiful man.
ReplyDeleteThe next time we get together, I hope that you can join us. Thanks for visiting.
THANK YOU--I will watch it in the morning. I admire Desmond Tutu so very much.
ReplyDeleteJan, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to say that our T.V. must be better than yours as I am often engrossed for an hour, but that would be to score cheap points and I am above that.
ReplyDeleteDesmond Tutu is my hero!
And we share a birthday. (Not the year obviously.)
I shall try to watch the video although transatlantic technology often fails.

ReplyDeleteDP, if you said that, I would not quarrel with you. I need to stop talking about TV, because I watch so little. I don't say that with pride, because there is good stuff this side of the pond, too - along with a whole load of trash.
I used the TV reference as a goad to get folks to watch Tutu - but you already knew that.
I can not get the video to play!
ReplyDeleteI will try to search on the web and see if I can find it.
Fran, you could try starting from here. Click on "Watch this Sunday Forum". Both worked for me. You could also try the listening link from MP3 on the same page.
