Michael Curry

Bishop Michael Curry, the first AfricanAmerican leader of the US Episcopal church, was chosen to deliver a sermon at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding last month. He gave a passionate 14-minute address in which he preached in the style of the traditional African-American church. He quoted Martin Luther King, mentioned slavery, and emphasized the social and political power of love. Many journalists said that Curry “made history” with his speech.
