It is greatly saddening to hear of the passing yesterday of former Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He was a lifelong champion for human rights and against all forms of bigotry. Most known for his fight against apartheid – for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – he was also a proponent of women’s rights and a fervent LGBTQ+ ally.
There are very few leaders within organised religion that I can say I have great respect for and especially within the Abrahamic traditions. But Tutu was, likely due to his belief in universal salvation, a man who truly was filled with love for all.
He will be greatly missed and the world is a lesser place without him.
