From Long Island-He is the first African-American to lead the Episcopal Church in the United States, and electrified millions around the world in May by delivering a memorable sermon at the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Now, the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry is helping to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.
Curry arrived Thursday to kick off the start of three days of meetings and religious services to mark the anniversary. He and other leaders, who are gathering at a hotel in Uniondale, said they plan to address a number of issues including immigration and the #MeToo movement.
In an interview, Curry said the Episcopal Church is dedicated to protecting the rights of immigrants, a group he said is increasingly under attack.
