The quote below, from Associated Press reporter Rick Bowmer, describes our new Presiding Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry. It appeared with this delightful photo in this morning’s email from The Daily Office:
The Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry
The Bishop of North Carolina, Michael Curry, has been elected the next Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church in a historic, landslide vote. A charismatic, media-savvy preacher, he will be installed this fall as the first African-American to hold the post. He’s considered a social justice liberal who is unabashedly committed to Jesus Christ. (Rick Bowmer/Associated Press)
Bishop Curry: Such unabashed joy!
