Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth (born 1963) is a South African Anglican priest, author and activist.
[4] As a child, Tutu had no desire to follow in her father's footprints as a priest and later described her path to the ministry as taking the "scenic route" and said she felt God calling her into the profession.
[6] She received her master's degree from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts,[6] and after her ordination she began preaching at the historic Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia.
[2][15] On 30 January 2022, Mpho Tutu van Furth was confirmed as pastor of Vrijburg, a church in Amsterdam, by the reverend Joost Röselaers.
[16] In 2015, Tutu married Marceline van Furth [nl], a Dutch professor of medicine, and moved to Amstelveen in the Netherlands.
[4] In September 2022, the Church of England's Diocese of Hereford refused a request to allow her to conduct a funeral in the diocese, that of her godfather and her father's friend the anti-apartheid campaigner Martin Kenyon,[23] because she is married to a woman (the Church of England does not allow its clergy to marry the same sex).
