Abstract

Ernest Urban Trevor Huddleston was motivated by a strong Christian faith, but a very earthbound and pragmatic one. He believed that Christ's message was that 'truth is revolutionary, and that it is a most powerful solvent of traditional social ideas'. And he acted on that belief. From the very broad strokes of initiating the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) to the seemingly small act of giving a young boy a trumpet, his actions have changed the world, making it a better, more equitable and more harmonious place.
