What a thrill it was to be in the presence of this giant of peace, justice and reconciliation. I was awe-struck. This first visit was during the time that Apartheid was still very much the law of the land in South Africa. All Saints and the Anglican Church in South Africa had established a relationship, working together to help dismantle that system of extreme oppression. So, this visit was a celebration of that relationship and a re-commitment to the cause. It was the first time the All Saints choirs learned and sang "Nkosi Sikelel 'iAfrica". At each of the Archbishop's visit, over the years, I always remember his kindness and appreciation of the musicians. So very gracious.
