Thank You Desmond Tutu

The Archbishop Desmond Tutu has not only criticized the church for being "obsessed" with homosexuality, but he has also said he is sorry on a BBC program just this past Monday. He says:

"I want to apologise to you and to all those who we in the church have persecuted," Archbishop Tutu says in the interview. "I'm sorry that we have been part of the persecution of a particular group. For me that is quite un-Christ like and, for that reason, it is unacceptable. Maybe, even as a retired Archbishop, I probably have, to some extent, a kind of authority but apart from anything let me say for myself and anyone who might want to align themselves with me, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the hurt, for the rejection, for the anguish that we have caused to such as yourselves."
