I want to take this opportunity to point out that he was also an Archbishop of the Anglican Church.

He was also born in Klerksdorp and went to university in London. So I am not sure his Anglican label is as relevant as the fact he spent his life as a follower of Christ.

If he had been a Catholic or a Methodist, or a member of the Plymouth Brethren, or any number of the tens of thousands of denominations, it would not have been particularly relevant to the fact he spent his life as a follower of Christ, and admirably so to my way of thinking.

I said "also". I did not say "but" or "however".

I’m glad your actually ok, I was worried for you. I actually find you very interesting and creative. My intention are non argumentative with no trick filled words not peace. I hope we can be friends someday, as things got off Terribly the last two times.

I cannot in all honesty say the same about you.

And for you to post this unwecome drivel on this thread - which is about Desmond Tutu, whom I thought was an admirable follower of Jesus - without even bothering to mention Tutu yourself, just makes you seem silly.

Welcome back to the forums FMF. Your input here was definitely missed. Desmond Tutu is/was a hero here in the Caribbean despite the physical distance. His life and work with people was an inspiration to many. The world sorely needs more Christians of that calibre.

Thanks Rajk999 for your kind words. Yes, his way of walking his faith certainly seemed to involve action and policies rooted in the golden rules attributed to Jesus.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Anger and it’s friends are heavy to carry. Would he feel honored with you at his feet teaching and using your own words of anger and hate to another as you bless him to the heavens from this earth?

Yawn. No one is angry unless you are. Whose feet? Desmond Tutu's?

Blessing whom "to the heavens"? Desmond Tutu? Who's trying to "bless" him?

"Of the Anglican Church".

You didn't used to be this slow.
