Heard this touching story about Desmond Tutu today.
Want to share it with you.
The south African activist, outspoken critic of apartheid.
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the first black Bishop of Johannesburg.
It was during the apartheid time when he was still only a child.
He and his mom was out walking, the rule was that if a white person was about to
pass you on the street you had to step aside and let them through.
This white man comes up walking against them.
He stoped, stepped aside and took his hat off for Desmond and his mother.
The white man was an Anglican priest and it was from that day Desmond Tutu decided to became a priest as well.

“I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.”
