Worth Noting
Made for Goodness:
Desmond Tutu speaks on [American] National Public Radio about a new book co-authored with his
daughter. 'How do I see the world and my role in it? What are the spiritual practices that uphold
me? What do I see in the heart of humanity and in the sweep of history that confirms my conviction
that goodness will triumph? This book is my answer.'
The
Finality of Christ in a Pluralist World: 'So, 'uniqueness' and 'finality': we believe
as Christians that because of Jesus Christ a new phase in human history – not just
the history of the Middle East or of Europe – has opened. There is now a community
representing on earth the new creation, a restored humanity. There is now on earth a community
which proclaims God's will for universal reconciliation and God's presence in and among us
leading us towards full humanity.' The Archbishop of Canterbury lectures in the Diocese of
Guildford.
