The Spirituality of Reconciliation
Through prophetic vision and a courage empowered by a mighty faith, Archbishop Desmond Tutu guided a broken nation to justice and peace—abolishing apartheid from the land of South Africa. He has been called an international icon of justice, a mediator for true democracy and the moral voice in ending poverty and human rights abuses. To witness Desmond Tutu is to witness the muscle of faith alive and powerfully at work in the world. His message is guided by the wisdom of the gospel and his deep abiding love for all humanity. Through the lens of faith he understands forgiveness as the instrument of peace. The Community of Reconciliation, a new ecumenical spiritual community based at Washington National Cathedral, is honored to receive the Archbishop’s blessing during the evening’s program. Come make witness to his alternate and prophetic vision of radical equality, acceptance and the ultimate grace of forgiveness. Desmond Mpilo Tutu is a cleric and activist who rose to worldwide fame during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid. Tutu was elected and ordained the first black South African Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, and primate of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (now the Anglican Church of Southern Africa). He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.. Ticket prices: $16—regular; $9—Students, Seniors 65+, Limited Income.
