In February 2014, Bishop Michael Curry came to preach at the Diocesan Convention of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina at All Saints', Hilton Head Island. I remember shaking Bishop Curry's hand and saying to him, "Bishop, if the opportunity should present itself, I hope you would consider running as a candidate for Presiding Bishop."
Bishop Curry said, "I will pray on that."
On June 27, 2015, I received a powerful lesson on the power of prayer when Bishop Curry was elected as the first African American Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church.
The margin of the votes he received was an indication of what a superior candidate he was for the office.

All of us should put on our Jesus garments and get ready for an exciting new religious journey.
