Desmund Tutu: A Life In South Africa

Desmund Tutu was born in Klerksdorp, South Africa October 7, 1931. His father was a principal and his mother for a school for the blind cooking and cleaning.

Just like he does not hate people who have different skin colors. I mean if you ask me it does not make any sense. Like if God made people to love who they love then why would he hate what he made. That is what I feel that Tutu is saying in this essay. Also what I feel that he is saying is what really give people to speak for God. I mean does it not say in the bible to love all people no matter
