As an MLK weekend tribute, Epiphany Parish will celebrate the life of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who passed away in late December at the age of 90 and who made history for his roles as both the first Black Bishop of Johannesburg and Archbishop of Cape Town. The church writes, "This is a worthy celebration because of who he was, what he did, and what he taught. It is an appropriate memorial made more poignant in that it is celebrated on the weekend we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Archbishop Tutu, as providence ordains, was himself the recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. award for Non-Violence in 1986. Both Archbishop Tutu and Dr. King lived their lives as true God-bearers, true followers of our Lord Jesus Christ."
