ANDREW MURRAY-DESMOND TUTU PRIZE WINNER 2026
Care for Africa. Witnesses of Earthkeeping and Ecological Justice
Editors: Jacques Beukes, Hassan Musa, Fay van Eeden and Mias van Jaarsveld
This book’s focus on socio-political injustices of our day, though from a Christian perspective, draws many a diverse reader into its message(s) of current local (and international) injustices that affect both the religious, nonreligious and moreover, those who find themselves ‘in-between’. Succinctly, the book offers direction, guidance, life and relevance to the Church’s mission of enabling freedom through Jesus, the ultimate rebellious liberator.
High praise and recommendation for this exceptional book that can serve as an influential catalyst and practical resource for all of humanity seeking to sound the ‘bell’ of justice, mercy, humility, and freedom in as well as outside of the Church.
Judges: Prof Jacques Beukes, Ds Cecile Murray and Dr Lutasha Ndesi
