'That was a black church sermon:' Rev. Michael Curry brings passion to the Church of England

From Philadelphia-

“Its flashes are flashes of fire. A raging flame, many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it out,” sounded Curry’s voice in the cavernous St. George’s Chapel, where 500 years of British monarchs lay buried.

Curry, 65, then did something what some pastors call “shifting gears,” said Rev. Mark Kelly Tyler, pastor of Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia.
