Excellent talk. Click on media clips and watch now to hear.

H.G. Bishop Thomas, the first recipient of the St. Stephen Prize, a human rights award given by The Norwegian Mission to the East, for his efforts to speak out against the oppression of religious communities.

Just as a point of clarification. His Grace actually recieved the award 10 years ago. This talk was just him being invited back by the Hudson Institute to give a speech. The mention of the award was just part of his introduction.

(Found out the hard way when congratualting His Grace on his prize and recieving a blank stare followed by the question "What prize?")
