Episode 415: People Who Lived Their Faith, Part Two--Desmond Tutu

As we continue a new series for 2025 on people who lived out their faith, colleagues in ministry Natalie, Sarah, and Steve explore the life and legacy of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.  From his life experience during and after the apartheid era in South Africa to his deep faith and accessible but profound theology, there is a great deal that the contemporary American church can learn from Tutu's witness today.  In this conversation we'll explore the nature of the Truth and Reconcilation Commission in South Africa, the concept of "ubuntu" in Tutu's theology, and the claim that "God has a dream." We'll also explore Tutu's fruitful partnership and friendship with the Dalai Lama and his witness as a voice for nonviolent response to tyrannical regimes.  Lots of good places to learn and be inspired, on this week's Crazy Faith Talk!
