From Atlanta-For the first time ever, a man of color will take the reins of the Atlanta Diocese of the Episcopal Church.
Reverend Rob Wright will be ordained as Bishop in a ceremony at Morehouse College King Chapel Saturday.
In an interview with WSB’s Pete Combs, Wright said he is convinced the Episcopal Church is awakening, as if from a long sleep.
“An old theologian once said, ‘From time to time, the Church forgets who she is. But every once in a while, we remember and we begin to act like a church,” Wright said. Now, he continued, is such a time of remembrance.
As for being the first African-American to lead this Diocese, Wright called it “a sign of real hope.”
“People are finally moving into this notion of character content versus color,” he said.
