archbishop tutu managed to have this appeal across the generations. liked him? i think it's because he believed in them and they knew he loved them. he loved young people and he engaged with them very, very easily and i won't say at their level because that would be patronising. he drew them into his love and generosity and he always impressed upon them that they were the hope of our nation, and i think as things got very bad in the last few years, as those who are part of the old liberation movement began to in fact abuse their power and betray the rainbow vision that desmond tutu was so strongly an advocate of. he looked more and more to a new generation who were not burdened by the old ways. a generation who just wanted to make a good country and make it work. and his enthusiasm for that, i think, drew them along with him. the archbishop of canterbury has called on people to "keep moving forward in hope" when it comes to climate change. in his new year's message he said world leaders must implement a fair solution after cop26. 0ur religious affairs
