Archbishop Desmond Tutu is, for me, the model moral tiger. He has remained true to himself, his people, and the Gospel he loves so dearly through . It’s sad, though, that he now has to campaign against the government for which he fought so hard.

All he wants to do is celebrate his birthday with a fellow peacemaker, but the South African government is again dragging its feet on issuing the Dalai Lama a visa. It seems they’re giving into pressure from the Chinese government.

It amazes and astounds how two elderly Nobel laureates can pose such a threat to powerful governments. How I pray for a more just and peaceful world!
