Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

[ByronArn]

I was wondering what everyone thought of the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop?

I don't know much about him, but the videos i have seen in which he has spoken have left me impressed. I love how he focuses on Jesus Christ, and what he terms 'the Jesus Movement'. Rather than being a bishop that denies the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, he seems to be focusing the Episcopal Church on the God that became flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

And his calls for revival within the Episcopal Church? Long overdue, in my opinion.

Does he deny the VB and the Ressurection?

Does he deny the VB and the Ressurection?

While i haven't heard him speak on it, i can't imagine that he would deny either. The way he speaks so passionately about Jesus and the Jesus Movement, it seems like he knows the uniqueness of Christ and all that it entails.

I've only seen a couple of his recorded video talks, could stand to check out more. Certainly he had a good "Screen presence" and didn't seem like a scam artist, which are both plusses.

I quite like him. It seems to me what he speaks to is important and can re-energize the church.

I especially love his focus on evangelism. The Episcopal Church needs evangelism right now. Just like it needs more of a focus on Jesus Christ.

Does he deny the VB and the Ressurection?

No, he affirms them. He's actually said that he wants to see more Episcopalians (and other Christians) reciting the Nicene Creed "without your fingers crossed behind your back."

He's very charismatic, his sermons get a bit off topic here and there, and some of his ideas about what constitutes the "Jesus Movement" veer in odd directions sometimes; but his heart is in the right place.

Good catch. I've heard him quoted saying that, but I didn't connect the dots as to that applying to the Virgin Birth and Bodily Resurrection of Jesus.
