Isikhungo saqala umsebenzi wakhe e-Orlando West, eSoweto ngaphambi kokunyuka eKapa ngonyaka ka-2000. Isikhungo esiseKapa saqala ukuqalisa uhlelo lokuPhumela koMholi. U-Tutu ngokwakhe uthintana naye nezimpande zakhe njengomfundisi.
Wafundisa e-Episcopal Divinity School eCambridge, eMassachusetts ngo-2002. Ngo-2003 wafundisa eNyuvesi yaseNorth Carolina futhi ngo-2004 wabuyela e-alma mater yakhe, i-King's College London, njengomprofesa ovakashele. Wabe esebenza njengomprofesa ohambele iminyaka emibili e-Emory University e-Atlanta, Georgia lapho efundisa khona inkolo.
Imikhankaso Yomhlaba Wonke Yokuthula
U-Tutu wagcina isimo sakhe sokukhuluma ngokweqile ezindabeni zomhlaba ezithintekayo. Wasebenzisa ngokugcwele isikhundla sakhe ukwenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukudala izwe elingcono. Lokhu kuhlanganisa: Ngo-2006 uTutu waqala umkhankaso womhlaba wonke wokulwa nokuhweba izingane ngokubhalisa zonke izingane ngesikhathi sokuzalwa.
Ngo-2008 uTutu wajoyina umbhikisho waseTibetan eSan Francisco phakathi neMibhikisho yaseTibetan. Ngombhikisho, wabiza izinhloko zombuso ukuthi zihlukumeze umkhosi wokuvulwa kwama-Olimpiki asehlobo lase-2008 eBeijing ngenxa yabantu baseTibetan.

Ngo-2017 uTutu wajoyina ama-10 Nobel Peace Prize, ecela uSaudi Arabia ukuba amise ukubulawa kwabafana abangu-14 ababambe iqhaza emibhikishweni yaseSaudi Arabia kanti kamuva lowo mholi wacela umholi waseMyanmar ukuba ayeke ukushushiswa kwe-Muslim Rohingya.
Ukubandakanyeka ngezindaba zezempilo
Njengoba uTutu athola ukuthi unesifo somdlavuza we-prostate futhi wabhekana nokugula kabi ngesikhathi sakhe ekhonza iKhomishani yeQiniso nokubuyisana phakathi neminyaka yama-1990 uye wahlanganyela ngokujulile ezindabeni zezempilo. Wabeka ukunakekelwa kwe-HIV / AIDS kanye nesifo sofuba (TB). Ngo-2004 i-Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation yasungulwa ngokuhlonipha kwakhe.
Isisekelo saqala ngokucwaninga nge-HIV futhi saqhubeka nokufaka ukwelashwa kwe-HIV, ukuvimbela nokuqeqeshwa nokuqapha ukwelashwa kwe-TB. UTutu ubelokhu ekhuluma ngokukhathazeka kwakhe ngesifo segciwane lesandulela ngculaza, ngisho nokuveza ukukhathazeka kwakhe lapho uPapa Benedict XVI ekhethiwe.
UPapa waziwa ngokuzimela ngokuqondene nobulili kanye nezindaba zobulili kanti uTutu wabonisa ukukhathazeka ukuthi isonto lamaRoma Katolika lalizoqhubeka nokuphikisana nokusetshenziswa kwamakhondomu. UTutu naye waba ngumphathi weSouth African Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Ngo-2014 uTutu wabeka ukuthi wayengakholelwa ekulondolozweni kwempilo ngazo zonke izindleko. Ube ngumsekeli wezomthetho osize ekufeni futhi wathi uzofuna ukhetho ukuthi lube khona kuye.

Ukusekela amalungelo obutabane
I-Tutu ihlonishwa kabanzi ngokusekelwa kwakhe kwamalungelo gay. Lesi kwakuyisimo sokuphikisana naye sokuba athathe inhlangano yakhe yenkolo. Noma kunjalo, uTutu umi ngokuqinile ukuthi ukubandlulula ngenxa yocansi kuyalingana nokubandlulula ngenxa yombango noma ubulili.
Wahamba waze wabhalela uGeorge Carey incwadi emva kweNgqungquthela yamaBhishobhi ye-Lambeth ka-1998 lapho kwaqinisekiswa khona ukuthi isonto liphikisana nemishado efanayo yobulili obufanayo. Encwadini, uTutu uthe wayenamahloni ukuba yi-Anglican nokuthi uma abakwa-Conservatives bengathandi ukubandakanywa bangashiya.
Usola isonto ngokugxila ngobungqingili. "Uma uNkulunkulu, njengoba bekusho, engabandlululo, angizange ngikhulekele uNkulunkulu." - UDesmond Tutu

Ukuhluza abaholi abasha baseNingizimu Afrika
Nakuba kuthokozile ukuthi uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika ocindezelayo ubekwe phansi ngo-1994, uTutu wayeqaphele ukuba aqaphele imisebenzi kahulumeni omusha futhi akazange anganqikazi ukubiza amaphutha ayewubonile.
Ezinye zezinto ayezibuza mayelana nohulumeni omusha zazibandakanya ukusetshenziswa kwezimali ezisekelweni zikahulumeni kaRobert Mugabe eZimbabwe kanye nomdwebo wezikhulumi ze-Nguni ukulawula isikhundla sezombusazwe.
Usole uThabo Mbeki ngokumangalela ukulalela kwamalungu e-ANC futhi wamgxeka ngokungabheki ngokwanele ukwanda kwegciwane lesandulela ngculaza nengculaza. U-Tutu uphinde wamgxeka uJohan Zuma, owamlandela, ngokuziphatha kabi ngokobugebengu ngesikhathi icala lokudlwengula nokukhwabanisa limelene naye.
