Presiding Bishop Curry's New Video: Loving, Liberating, and Life-giving
[September 15, 2016] Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael Curry has presented a video on the Jesus Movement: Loving, liberating, and life-giving.
The video can be viewed HERE.
The following is the transcript of the Presiding Bishop's video message in English and Spanish.
We've been talking for a little over a year now about being the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement, and somebody recently said to me, "As a bishop, why don't you paint us a picture, give us a picture of the Jesus Movement so that we can see it?"
When the Gospel is about to be read, the congregation stands up. Something is going on. And then more than that, as the Gospel moment is approaching, a deacon, if there is a deacon in the particular church, a person who has been ordained to be at the intersection of the church and the world, is asked to read or chant the Gospel. And they come down sometimes with the Gospel book held high. And there's music and the congregation is singing as the Gospel of Jesus, the teachings, the life and the spirit of Jesus enter, in a sense, the room, through the reading of the Gospel. READ MORE
