The former Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Rt. Rev. Michael Curry will be in Little Rock for his Annual Lenten Preaching Mission and Revival Thursday through Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.

Curry, above, served as the 27th presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church for nine years, retiring in 2024 after more than 40 years of ordained ministry. He gained widespread recognition in 2018 when he officiated the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

During his visit, Curry will speak at two public events on Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. He will also officiate the Sunday morning church service at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral at 9 a.m. On Saturday evening, March 15, a special ticketed event will feature Curry as the keynote speaker, along with a seated dinner and book signing.

Throughout his ministry, Curry has been a prophetic leader, particularly in the areas of racial reconciliation, climate change, evangelism, immigration policy, and marriage equality. The animating vision and message of his ministry is Jesus of Nazareth and his way of radical, sacrificial love, and he regularly reminds Episcopalians that they are “the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement.”

Curry is also the author of five books and a frequent guest on national and international media outlets. In recognition of his influence, he was named the 2018 Religion Newsmaker of the Year by the Religion News Association.
