Description

Ken Goodwin interviews the Bishop of Lichfield, The Right Reverend Keith Sutton who has returned from a fact-finding mission to South Africa where he met the anti-apartheid campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Sutton discusses the threats made by the South African President Botha to Tutu and restrictions against the church which were the main reason for the trip. He hopes the Archbishop of Canterbury will take action once he has reported back to him.
