Bishop Curry at Windsor  

Preaching Jesus at Royal Wedding
   This wasn't tradition. The new duke and duchess chose the bishop of the American Episcopal Church to preach at their wedding. Bishop Michael Curry spoke without notes for at least 10 minutes.

   If the last royal wedding is an indication, more than 2 billion people worldwide saw and heard an energetic, passionate call for redemptive love - it was a wedding after all - while praising the source of love - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Who knew?  

   Here is our summary, if you missed it:

God is love. Those who love God live in God and God lives in them.

There is redemptive power in love.

Love is the only way. There is something right about it.

God himself is the source, the power of love.

Love has power to heal. Love has power to lift up, to liberate...

...when nothing else will.

Jesus said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. 

And he said, Love your neighbor. 

On these two hang the law and the prophets...everything!

God has unconditional love for the world.

His love will transform, change the life of the world.

Jesus gave his life for the good of others.

Imagine, when love is the way - 

homes, neighborhoods, governments, businesses and nations

will bring justice, and end poverty and hunger, 

and men will lay down their swords and shields.

The discovery of fire made possible great benefits we take for granted.

Imagine if we harnessed the power of love.

It would be the second great fire of history.

   Is the bishop is describing the Millennium, when Christ comes to rule? Politically, we guess he is liberal, as is his denomination. But, no doubt, more Godly love on our part would mean fewer nightmares and more of God's vision for families and nations.
