About Desmond Tutu
South African Anglican bishop and theologian
Desmond Tutu was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian, 1931 to 2021, known for his anti-apartheid and human rights activism. He appears on the site with 98 quotes. He served as Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986, and then as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, becoming the first black African to hold each office. In his theology, he worked to bring together black theology and African theology, and his public voice often reflected that same concern for justice and dignity.
