We need to be accountable to God's family. Once we start living in a way that is people-friendly to all of God's family, we will also be environment-friendly.
Desmond TutuA person is a person through other persons; you can't be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships.
Desmond TutuWe are given an autonomy and the real autonomy... and God would much rather we went freely to hell than compel us to go to heaven.
Desmond TutuAfricans believe in something that is difficult to render in English. We call it ubuntu, botho. It means the essence of being human. You know when it is there and when it is absent. It speaks about humaneness, gentleness, hospitality, putting yourself out on behalf of others, being vulnerable. It embraces compassion and toughness. It recognizes that my humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
