On October 16, 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Later he headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
He became the first black to lead the Anglican Church in South Africa on September 7, 1986.
Tutu believes the treatment of Palestinians by the Jewish state of Israel is a form of apartheid ([1]). He has repeatedly called upon the Israeli government to respect the human dignity of the Palestinian people, whether Muslim or Christian.
Commenting days after the August 5, 2003 The Episcopal Church gay bishop ordination, Desmond Tutu said that he does not see what "all the fuss" is about: "For us [the Anglican Church in South Africa] that doesn't make a difference, the sexual orientation." [1]
