My Take
I will always associate Michael Curry with that 2018 royal wedding sermon, when a quiet Episcopal priest set the whole world talking about love. As the first African American to serve as presiding bishop, his path was anything but ordinary, and I admire how he took the gentlest of vocations and delivered it with thunderous conviction. The fact that he keeps an active presence on Instagram and X tells me he is a traditionalist genuinely committed to speaking into the present. A man who can move millions with a single sermon earns my sincere respect, and his Chicago roots only add to the story.
