the archbishop!

Just a quick post about an unexpected surprise last night! David Chronic, Noah, and I were invited by some of the people at the Warehouse to attend a musical/play about the Truth and Reconciliation Committee here in South Africa following the apartheid regime. It was called Truth in Translation. It was amazing! What was even more amazing was Archbishop Desmond Tutu attended as well! Archbishop Tutu coordinated and led the way for this process of forgiveness 12 plus years ago. Before the play started he and his wife were in the lobby of the theater. There was this buzz and it took us awhile to realize just who was in our midst.

Noah has been carrying his camera around with him most of the time since he has been here. But, none of us took a camera last night. The first thing Noah said was "Oh no, we didn't bring our cameras!" Anyway, one of the women from Warehouse is Anglican and has sat on some committees with the Archbishop. She was kind enough to make an introduction! Another woman attending the play with us had her camera, so she took a picture of Noah with Archbishop Tutu and will email it to us! A highlight for both Noah and David and I! I'll post the picture when I get it!

It must have been amazing for the actors to perform this play with Desmond Tutu in the second row. (We were in the first row and he was sitting not too far down behind us!)

It was a great night! Reminded me a bit of our unexpected meeting of Mother Theresa in Kolkata back in 1996.
