Desmond Mpilo Tutu

7 October 1931 - ? Archbishop Tutu is best known for his belief in the possibility of ultimate interracial harmony - a conviction that becomes a feat when considering his personal history.
In 1962, apartheid reached the church. White academics could no longer teach black clergymen, and black academics were needed to fill the gap. Tutu’s teaching experience, his two degrees, and his conscientiousness made him an ideal candidate for this duty, though he lacked a master’s degree. In order to fill this gap, he left South Africa in 1962 to pursue a master’s degree at King’s College at London University. ...Tutu reached religious prominence and was consecrated as the bishop of Lesotho... He returned to his homeland in 1967 and continued with his mission of teaching black clergy. In 1976, Tutu reached religious prominence and was consecrated as the bishop of Lesotho, an independent enclave within South Africa. The positive events in Tutu’s life were not matched by events at home. A month before his consecration, Soweto, a black community near South Africa’s capital, Johannesburg, exploded in violence as 15,000 schoolchildren took to the streets. They were angry that Afrikaans, instead of English - their typical language of instruction — would be used to teach some of their classes. More than 600 people were killed.

Archbishop Tutu was consecrated Bishop of Lesotho in 1976 and became General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches in 1978. In 1979 he received an honorary doctorate of laws from Harvard University. The government confiscated his passport in reprisal for his call for an international boycott of South African coal in 1980. In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his nonviolent campaign to limit international trade and investment activities in South Africa. The Archbishop established the Southern African Refugee Scholarship Fund with his Nobel Peace Prize Fund, enabling disadvantaged students to further their studies. He became Bishop of Johannesburg in 1985, and Archbishop of Cape Town and head of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa in 1986. He has received numerous awards, prizes and honorary degrees from all over the world. His publications include "Crying in the Wilderness", "Hope and Suffering" (collections of sermons and addresses) and "The Rainbow people of God" which includes biographical material and background narrative by John Allen.

Christianity in North America and Europe tends to buy into the Enlightenment ethos of "enlightened self-interest" and "rational individualism." The individual as free agent is the starting point for thinking about society, and this of course reduces community to little more than a collection of individuals who come together out of self-interest. A Christianity saturated with this way of thinking about the relation between persons and society tends to focus too much on individual salvation and...

Archbishop Desmond Tutu stands alongside Nelson Mandela as one of the most iconic figures of the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa. As archbishop of Cape Town throughout the 1980s, Tutu came to symbolize dignified, rational opposition to the iniquities of the apartheid regime, a faithful irreverence for unjust authority that led to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. In 1995 he took up his greatest challenge, as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the remark...

Prejudice Grade Level: Author: Sandi Baker Background: Desmond Mpilo Tutu was born at Klerksdorp, South Africa on October 7, 1931. He was born into a world of great injustice. Klerksdorp is about 120 miles from Johannesburg, the richest city in South Africa. His family, like all other blacks in South Africa had very little money. They lived in a small shack where there was no electricity or sanitation. All black people had to carry passbooks and special identification. This included even his own father, a respected schoolteacher. The white police would sometimes stop black people on the street and demand to see papers. Even at a young age Desmond was upset by this and saw it as very unfair. As a child Tutu saw that not all whites were cruel. One day he met Father Trevor Huddleston, a white priest. This man would have a great influence on Desmond's life. When he was fourteen Desmond caught tuberculosis and almost died. He lay in a hospital bed among dying men for two years. Every day Father Huddleston came to talk to him. This inspired Tutu to a lifelong devotion to Christianity. In 1948 South Africa suffered a terrible disaster. An election was held. White South African citizens were the only ones allowed to vote. They elected the National Party to lead the country. This party was openly racist. They called for apartheid which means literally apart-hood and promised to introduce extreme anti-Black policies. While the rest of the world was making changes after World War II and the Holocaust, the South African white population was going in the opposite direction. The new party wasted no time in enacting new laws that made racial prejudice, segregation, and oppression the central focus of government policy.

Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu http://www.moreorless.au.com/heroes/tutu.htm Country: South Africa. Cause: Ending of South African apartheid regime. 1945 - Tutu enters Johannesburg Bantu High School. He matriculates in 1950 then trains as a teacher at Pretoria Bantu Normal College, receiving his diploma in 1953. Tutu had wished to become a doctor, but his family could not afford to pay for his training. 1952 - In February the African National Congress (ANC) calls on the government to repeal all unjust laws or face a 'Campaign for the Defiance of Unjust Laws'. Mass rallies and strikes staged on 6 April and 26 June attract thousands of supporters. The government reacts by introducing harsher penalties for protests against apartheid. Campaign leaders and newspapers are banned and about 8,500 people are arrested. The defiance campaign has helped build ANC membership from about 7,000 at the beginning of the year to more than 100,000 by the year's end. 1954 - After graduating with a bachelor of arts from the University of South Africa, Tutu becomes a schoolteacher. 1955 - The ANC writes a 'Freedom Charter' stating that South Africa belongs to all people living within it regardless of race, that all South Africans should be treated equally before the law, and that the country's wealth should be distributed equitably. Meanwhile, Tutu marries on 2 July. He and his wife Leah will have four children.

Reconciliation: The Ubuntu Theology of Desmond Tutu > Customer Review #1: A much needed corrective to rampant individualism

Christianity in North America and Europe tends to buy into the Enlightenment ethos of "enlightened self-interest" and "rational individualism." The individual as free agent is the starting point for thinking about society, and this of course reduces community to little more than a collection of individuals who come together out of self-interest. A Christianity saturated with this way of thinking about the relation between persons and society tends to focus too much on individual salvation and individual sin and too little on the Kingdom of God as communitarian ideal, collective salvation, and corporate sin. The underlying principle of Archbishop Tutus Christian ethics is the African notion of "ubuntu." Ubuntu is a difficult word to translate, but it connotes community, with the understanding that its impossible to isolate persons from community, that theres an organic relationship between all people such that when we see another, we should recognize (an important word for Tutu) ourselves and the God in whose image all people are made. Interdependence and reciprocity, not independence and self-sufficiency, are the keys here. As Tutu magnificently says, "A self-sufficient human being is subhuman. I have gifts that you do not have, so consequently, I am uniqueyou have gifts that I do not have, so you are unique. God has made us so that we will need each other. We are made for a delicate network of interdependence." (p. 35)

Marymount Honors Archbishop Desmond Tutu By Mary Frances McCarthy
Herald Staff Writer
(From the issue of 3/25/04) Anglican Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu, recipient of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping bring a peaceful end to apartheid in South Africa, was presented with the Marymount University Ethics Award last week. More than 1,000 attendees gathered in the Lee Center on Marymount’s campus to hear the heartwarming, inspiring and entertaining speech by the archbishop, a man of small stature but great influence, who laughed heartily at his own jokes. Five Marymount students performed a stirring recitation of selections from An African Prayer Book by Archbishop Tutu. Their "Reflections on Wholeness" were punctuated with Afrocentric sounds of percussion. Students also performed "Siyahamba," a South African freedom song. University President James E. Bundschuh and director of the Center for Ethical Concerns Paul H. Byers presented Archbishop Tutu with the Ethics Award. Before he was ordained, Archbishop Tutu taught high school but could not accept a system that prescribed a lesser education for blacks. He thought he could have more of an impact and do more through the church. He was ordained in 1961. In 1984, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1985, he became bishop of Johannesburg and a year later was made Archbishop of Cape Town. Nelson Mandela appointed Archbishop Tutu chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which investigated and revealed the atrocities of the apartheid government and began the process of reconciliation.
