"Other than the name I have no idea what or who he really is. "
The first black head of the Anglican church in South Africa, he spoke out loudly against apartheid. He received a Nobel peace prize in recognition of his efforts.
He's campaigned on many fronts, Isreal, cypriot reunification and many others. He's been critical of the Anglican church for its obsessive action against gay equality, whilst doing insufficient to tackle poverty.
A small bit of information about him. |

"Gave his name to grads who just about scraped a BSc "
Are you sure?
I always Herd that before he savaged Thatcher in the commons and started the revolt that forced her out of office, a third was called a Richard and a second class honours a 22...
But then I only have an MA so accept that I would have no idea what science graduates call a richard. |
