Commemorative Service for Archbishop Tutu
Archbishop Tutu, who died on December 26, 2021, came to prominence internationally when he was consecrated as the first black Bishop of Johannesburg in 1985; and during his tenure, he publicly endorsed an economic boycott of South Africa and a campaign of civil disobedience in an effort to dismantle Apartheid. In 1986, he was translated to become Bishop of Cape Town and Archbishop of the Church in the Province of South Africa – another first for a black man.
