Cathleen Falsani

CHICAGO-A few hours before the bodies of singer Jennifer Hudson’s murdered mother and brother were discovered on Chicago’s South Side, Archbishop Desmond Tutu gave an address titled “The Dawn of a New Moral Awakening.” Tutu came to Chicago to speak the truth to power-to prophesy about what could be, as opposed to what is.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
