I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights. – Bishop Desmond Tutu

Bishop Desmond Tutu

Crumbs of Compassion Not A Good Meal

Sir Desmond Mpilo Tutu is a South African Anglican (Church of England) bishop. He is best known for his work in the areas of human rights, particularly during the anti-apartheid movement.

He was the Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then the Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, in both cases being the first black African to hold the position. Theologically, he sought to fuse ideas from black theology with African theology.
