By Caitlin Collins '05
On Oct. 6 Archbishop Desmond Tutu addressed the Villanova
University community at the Pavilion. Students, faculty,
 staff
and members of the University and community from the surrounding area
gathered together for the commencement of the evening at 7:30 p.m.
“An Evening With Archbishop Desmond Tutu,” was sponsored by Catholic
Relief Services, the University Campus Activities Team, the College of
Engineering, the Villanova Experience program, the Center for Peace &
Justice Education and the Department of History/Africa Studies. Speaking on
issues of humanity, peace and religion, Archbishop Tutu offered the audience
insight on his life and career as an Anglican priest, bishop and finally
archbishop.
Archbishop Tutu, who has been named the 2004 A. Dwyer/St. Thomas of
Villanova Peace Award recipient, won the Noble Peace Prize in 1984. In
addition, Archbishop Tutu has published many works including, Crying in
the Wilderness, Hope and Suffering, An African Prayer Book
and No Future Without Forgiveness. |
