“Yeah, I am a Black, queer, young man, and I believe with every fiber of my being that God embraces me as I am.”
So says the Rev. Nitano Muller, this month’s Soulful Revolutionary.
The 35-year-old hails from Ocean View, a small fishing-community outside of Cape Town, South Africa. As a trained elementary school teacher, ordained Anglican Priest and social justice activist; Nitano's passions lie at the intersection of education, faith and justice issues. He describes himself as a juggler of books, chalices and a social life. He currently serves as the Rector of St Peter, Blue Downs, in the Anglican Diocese of False Bay and as Diocesan Canon for Young People.
Our conversation covers a lot of ground, including:
How embodied practices have helped Nitano tap into his innate goodness,
how he illuminates the dignity of those in a community that has faced dignity violations for generations,
and how he sees South Africa as a collective contending for justice at the global scale by advocating for Palestinians at the International Court of Justice.
This conversation was, as Nitano likes to say, a true delight. Get ready to catch a glimpse of your own goodness.
