MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
And finally today, we wanted to acknowledge that it s been difficult for many of us to think about the events of this past week without a fair amount of anxiety or anger or confusion about what comes next. Perhaps you re looking for some words of wisdom or comfort that can be heard above all the shouting. For that, we asked some of the faith leaders who we ve talked to in the past on this program to share some of their thoughts for the current moment. We ll start with Bishop Michael Curry presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church.

Review: Love is the Way
By Bishop Michael Curry, with Sara Grace | Avery, An imprint of Random House
264 pages – $27.00
“The way of love is how we stay decent during indecent times.”
Bishop Michael Curry
I’d be surprised if you know who Bishop Curry is, the author of “Love Is The Way”, by name alone. Good for you if you do.
But if you saw Curry give his sterling homily on the redemptive power of love at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018, you’ll recognize him immediately.
Curry is the presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church. Elected in 2015. He’s the first African-American to lead the denomination which is non-territorial. A noted advocate for human rights, Bishop Curry is recognized as one of the most popular preachers in the English language. He and his wife, Sharon, have two daughters, Rachel and Elizabeth. They live in North Carolina.
RESIDENCE: Westerly.
BORN, RAISED & GREW UP IN: Richmond.

I AM COPING WITH LIFE IN THE AGE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BY: Using whatever talents and skills I have to help other people and organizations keep their communities together.
