Curry is Episcopalian so why was he brought in? By whom? For what purpose? What was the ops?
Somehow the Episcopal Church is related to the Anglican Church of England but Archbishop Welby is competent enough to do this solo and didn’t need help from outsiders.
No one knows what religion Meghan was but she did attend Catholic school. Protocol called for her to convert to the Church of England before marrying Harry, which she did. Why would she want Curry? She was raised and continued to live in CA. She lived in Canada part time while filming “Suits”. Curry preached in Maryland from 1988 to 2000 and currently in NC. Their paths, as far as anyone knows, NEVER passed.
The Mirror newspaper says Meghan “picked” Curry and his wiki says the couple invited him. Semantics. Someone please tell me just how it is that she’s ever heard of him. Well, she didn’t. Her picking him, imo, was because Welby picked him or someone pulling his strings did. Yes, she’s already being manipulated. In fact, Elizabeth is, too, despite she must approve of every detail of the ceremony including the bridal gown.
Elizabeth gave her approval of the marriage in March so no preparations could begin until after that. The msm was looking at a summer or fall wedding, not one in less than two months.
Curry became a bishop in 2015. In January 2016, Curry attended an Anglican Church event which Welby headed. One of the main topics was same sex marriage. That may be where they first met. A few months later, Welby (or a committee) put Curry on a task force. That same year, Curry and Welby were in a group that visited the Vatican. The Archbishop of Nigeria was against Curry being allowed to go to the Vatican saying it was against sanctions. Anyone know what that was about?
What made Curry so special that he got put on a task force right after he was made Bishop? What made Curry so special he got to go to the Vatican? What make Curry so special he officiated at the royal wedding? And the very next day we find out he’s a Trump hater and supposed to be in a march against him in a few days.
I thought the royals weren't supposed to be political. Someone is pulling strings for Curry.
Bottom line, Meghan did NOT “pick” Curry. IMO, Welby told her Curry would be there. Why? What’s the deal between Welby and Curry? For what I’ve seen, Welby has only known him for a year and four months.
Some people are just, plain crazy.
Oprah had a short meeting with Megyn’s mother before the wedding. I suspect either Oprah or Obama (or Moochelle) recomended this “Reverend Wright-Wannabe”.
There is a strong ‘white guilt’ latency in many members of the Royal Family. Charles and Harry are but two.
Harry says Michelle Obama had something to do with introducing him to his future wife.
Don’t know much about him except he was the fitst black bishop in the Elviscopalian church, but he’s a Trump hater? So he prefers to keep blacks on the plantation. I wonder if he agrees with Al Sharpton that the wedding shows that “white supremacy is on its last breath” Yes, it’s only ENGLAND, how dare those white people be a majority there.
Curry was made a bishop in 2000, and served the diocese of North Carolina. He has been Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church since 2015. I just assumed that because he heads the American branch of Anglicanism, and the bride is American, that’s why he was there. I read somewhere that Meghan was received into the Church of England some time after the engagement.
And, of course, he’s black.
Here’s a clue....
I read in one of the FR threads that although MM went to a Catholic school, she was not a Catholic. I think her father is Episcopalian. She did marry a Jewish dude but I don’t know if she converted. She’s a religious mess.
Now, as to the rush for a May wedding, I think it has to do with MM’s Visa statue. May is six months from November when they announced the engagement. Her visa may have been expiring in May.
MM hates President Trump.
Harry loves Obama.
I think obama suggested curry.
Episcopalian rapscallion!
I don’t know of him personally but, it looked as tho everyone there was wondering when he would STHU.
Surprised he didn’t mention chickens coming home to roost or something.
Don’t know who pulled strings, just know the guy was terrible.
Not a big deal. The Episcopal Church is basically the American version of the Anglican Church and he’s a black bishop.
End of story.
Not sure about politics, but definitely bad theology:
I’ll be a little more conspiratorial: I think the marriage is calculated to bring more “diversity” into the Royal family. Of course, Harry will never ascend to the Throne and arguably isn’t even the true son of Charles.
I grew up in the Episcopal church but I don't claim it now. Once upon a time it was the most Conservative church around and it is doing everything it can to be the most Liberal and in the process it is destroying itself. Many parishes have left, some have joined the Anglican Church, other people have simple quit and gone somewhere else.
I saw Curry's act at the wedding and he was a total idiot and embarrassment. Lord if he didn't look like comedian Garrett Morris.

As an Anglican, I can say, “it’s complicated.” :( but the Episcopal church, which is the Anglican branch in the US was disciplined at the Jan 2016 meeting. The discipline was that the Episcopal church would be excluded from representing the Anglican Communion or leadership within the Communion because they had departed form the faith and teaching of the Church over homosexuality. It was never enforced which has been painful and an act of betrayal for the Nigerian bishops and others who believed it was necessary. Welby and Curry are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Welby had too sign off on this if he didn’t arrange it and once again he betrayed the Communion partners.
It is RACE politics. He “represented” America ... and I wasn’t impressed. That is not “my” culture. But it sure is the same “Episcopal Church” I left 10 years ago.
Curry is the head of the entire Episcopal Church, which is the U.S. version of the Anglican Church. If you’re having an American representation among the clergy, it kinda makes sense to pick the top guy. Also, he was named a Bishop in 2000, not 2015.
The engagement was announced last November, not in March, and the time between engagement and wedding was almost exactly the same as it was for William and Kate.
Curry’s role was to deliver the sermon, which he did about the redemptive power of love. Have you never listened to a sermon before?
I haven’t seen any msm coverage of any of the other preachers who offered prayers at the wedding, not just the black one.
I’m trying to figure out exactly what your conspiratorial point is. If Welby told Markle it would be great to have the leader of the Episcopal Church give the sermon at your marriage that I am performing, so what? Please tell us who you think is pulling these strings and why, and why we should care.
I don’t believe the Queen was impressed with the service if her mouth was any indication. It was very tight (maybe wrong word), but she was not smiling at all. Wouldn’t she have to approve the service?
No surprise. The Royal Family is veering hard left. The fawning coverage of the wedding should give you a big clue where it is headed.
