USA: no Love for Curry?

Last summer the world was captured by the wedding of the year. Prince Harry married Megan Markle. The most talked-about moment, however, was not the kiss, nor the exchanging of the rings, but rather the sermon.

The preacher was the Most Revd Michael Curry. Surprisingly, his 14-minute dialogue was the most treasured component of the whole service, with 40,000 tweets being sent about it per minute. Even more shockingly was the prevalent commendation he received from many Christians. Mark Woods, of Christian Today, described Curry’s sermon as a ‘potent gospel message’.

However, on 14 January, the very same Mark Woods, reported that the once-loved Curry has now taken disciplinary action against Bishop William Love for opposing same-sex marriage. Christian Today, wrote that Curry has ‘moved to restrict Bishop Love’s ministry after he introduced a policy in the diocese preventing churches from performing gay weddings’.
