Mpho Tutu: Book Of Forgiving -Exclusive Interview
Speaking to 800 people at St John’s Smith Square in London on lecture’s topic of “Is violence ever justified?” he talked about the process of truth and reconciliation, the transformative nature of forgiveness and the uniquely African concept of Ubuntu – ‘I am me, because you are you’, saying that when wars come to an end, only forgiveness enables people to fully move away from conflict.
Archbishop Tutu was joined on stage by Mary Blewitt who lost 50 members of her family in the Rwandan genocide; Jo Berry whose father was killed in the the 1984 Brighton hotel bombing; and Patrick Magee, the former IRA activist who planted the bomb. Now, Desmond and his daughter Mpho Tutu have written a new book together to further our understanding of Healing thorough FORGIVENESS.
OMTimes Magazine through Shawne Duperon (Project Forgive) had the privilege to sit down with Mpho Tutu and have an exclusive Interview with this extraordinary beautiful soul.
Mpho Tutu is known across the globe as a Reverend and as a forgiveness “expert,” if you will. She holds a Master of Divinity degree from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA. Reverend Mpho Tutu exudes a calmness that peacefully envelopes you in love, the minute you connect with her.
Some of you may also recognize her as Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s daughter. She co-authored “Made for Goodness” with her father and most recently launched “The Book of Forgiving,” which may be one of the most compelling and user-friendly books on how to forgive ever published. It’s that good.
