Meeting Bishop Tutu 2

By Ed Brayton

It was an enormous privilege to get to meet Bishop Tutu yesterday at Michigan State, and I owe a huge thanks to Julie Powers for inviting me to be a part of it. He is giving the commencement address at MSU, but the event yesterday was an informal gathering of the Episcopal group Canterbury. Julie is on the group's board and was kind enough to invite me to take part.

It was a small gathering, maybe 40 people. Many of them were Episcopal clergy in the area, including the local bishop, and many of them were MSU students involved with Canterbury. Bishop Tutu insisted that he meet with the students and clearly enjoyed talking with all of the young people there. Most of the time was spent sitting around a group of tables, with the students asking him questions.
