René August is an activist, theologian and Anglican priest, she grew up under apartheid in the Mitchell's Plain coloured township in Cape Town. For René, theology is about finding a Jesus who is not some pet toy of western consumerism but the incarnated embodied Christ who was born into poverty, grew up under foreign occupation and lived a generous life of selfless compassion to all he met. René also speaks about growing up under apartheid, working with and being a friend of Archbishop Desmond Tutu as well as her work in South Africa with the organisation 'Warehouse'.
