Our New Presiding Bishop!



There was much buzz at the church this week about our new Presiding Bishop-Elect, the Rt. Rev. Michael Curry.  A charismatic man, a deeply grounded man, and one who can reach out to you as he speaks - his election as Presiding Bishop is historic as he is the first black Presiding Bishop in the Episcopal Church.  Known for his book "Crazy Christians: A Call to Follow Jesus" *, as well as his dynamic speaking ability, we thought you would enjoy the opportunity to have him introduced to you through these video links.
Enjoy!

This is Bishop Curry's sermon from the closing Eucharist of the Episcopal Youth Event in Philadephia, PA July 2014.

May we all hold Bishop Curry and all other Bishops, Priests and Deacons in the church in our prayers as they move forward doing the work of God, following in Jesus footsteps!
