Tutu Withdraws
I don’t have any religion, but I do try to follow a moral path, that tries not to hurt others in any way. I don’t succeed all the time.
If though, I have a priest who I can admire in all ways, it is Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Here is a man who has faced up to life’s most difficult challenges with a bravery and a sense of humour, that we could all do well to try to emulate.
I do hope that now Tutu has decided to withdraw from public life, that he doesn’t stop appearing on and in the media, on the one hand to cajole us to make the world a better place and on the other to amuse us.
The world would be a worse place without Tutu’s involvement and I know the inevitable happens to us all, but there are still many things for the wonderful priest to do. Let’s hope he gets most of them done!
I wish him a very long and happy retirement! I doubt it will be quiet though!
The Anonymous Widower 
I agree, he is a genuinely good person, and well respected. As you know I am a Christian, but I know that there are some genuinely good people from other faiths, and some genuinely good people who are atheist/humanist as well.
The world needs these people to look to, people who will say when something is bad, and will stand up for the oppressed people of the world. Sadly many of those people are now very old or have already died. There dont seem to be as many of them following in their footsteps onto the world stage.
