Six months in, new Episcopal church leader reflects on church challenges

From PBS- (with video)

HARI SREENIVASAN: The Most Reverend Michael Curry became presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church last November, becoming the head of one of the United States’ oldest denominations at a time of conflict and change.

The church, like most mainline Protestant denominations, has been facing declines in membership for decades.

Judy Woodruff sat down with Bishop Curry to learn how he is leading a church facing these challenges.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Bishop Michael Curry, thank you for talking to us.

THE MOST REVEREND MICHAEL CURRY, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church: Thank you.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And congratulations on your position.

THE MOST REVEREND MICHAEL CURRY: Thank you for that.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Let me ask you first, how would you describe the place that the Episcopal Church occupies in the broad religious profile that we have the United States now?
