Curry for the soul: top Episcopal bishop talks love and royal wedding

From Guam-

Known for his powerful sermon during the royal wedding, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry was recently on island for a speaking engagement hosted by St. John's Church and School.

Curry is the 27th Presiding Bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church. Elected in 2015, he is the first African American to serve in such capacity.

But most probably know Presiding Bishop Curry for his passionate sermon during the infamous wedding that took place in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

According to Curry, the decision to have him part of the royal wedding was Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's idea. He said that for whatever reason, the couple wanted to hear his voice at the wedding and that is when the Archbishop of Canterbury called him up.

“I don't think you tell the royal family no,” he remembers. “And so the initial question was, if you were asked to preach at the upcoming royal wedding on May 19th, would you be available?”

Episcopal bishop visits Guam, gives talk on diversity and inclusion

From Guam-

The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church, visited Guam and gave a talk on diversity and inclusion on Sunday evening.

His visit marked the third time a presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church visited Guam, according to Reverend Irene Maliaman of St. John’s Church. The church last year celebrated its 60 year anniversary in Micronesia, and is comprised of a relatively small community, Maliaman said.

“It is part of the responsibility of the presiding bishop to visit the Episcopal Church on Guam because we are his family,” Maliaman said. “You do not neglect or abandon your family, even if they are so far away. You visit them, check on them, make sure they are OK and let them know that you love them.”

Students, parents, teachers and community members joined at the St. John’s School gymnasium for Curry’s talk. The night began with performances of songs from “Game of Thrones” and “The Theory of Everything” by the school’s orchestra students.
