Additional quotes by Desmond Tutu

There is a story. . . which is fairly well known, told about when missionaries came to Africa, that they had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land. And then they said, “Let us pray,” and we dutifully shut our eyes. And when we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible.

God does not need us to protect him. Many of us perhaps need to have our notion of God deepened and expanded.
