You might have heard or watched the dynamic sermon titled “The Power of Love,” from the 2018 royal wedding of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle, delivered by the 27th Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, Bishop Michael B. Curry.

I was one of the billions of people who were captivated by his words that Saturday morning, and as I sat there, I knew that I had to meet him and be in his presence.

That same year, I was a sophomore at an Episcopal school in Atlanta. Much to my surprise, I requested, and was granted to have a one-on-one interview with the Presiding Bishop. I was overjoyed. Not only did he deliver the sermon at the royal wedding, but he is also the first African American Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.

My interview with the Bishop that day remains one of my most precious memories, and I am still so honored.

On April 30th of this year, I was a participant in the Interfaith Service for the Inauguration of Dr. Helene D. Gayle, the 11th President of the college I currently attend, Spelman College.

In a twist of fate, the President and The Presiding Bishop are friends and grew up together in the same neighborhood in the State of New York.

He gave another dynamic sermon for the Inauguration Interfaith service, and that day, we were reunited. Sometimes, I feel like we were always meant to know each other. Once again, the Bishop graciously agreed to sit down for an interview with me, and we had an incredible conversation.

5 years later, here is my conversation with the phenomenal Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Michael B. Curry.
