Bishop Curry shares day of love, laughter with royal couple

When he got the call, Curry said, he first thought it was an April Fool's joke. Then he realized the opportunity he'd have to reach beyond the typical Episcopal congregation.

"I really prayed over that homily, as I do over any homily, but I prayed I might say something about Jesus Christ for everyone in that church or watching on TV or on a computer screen or reading about this later," Curry said Monday, after his return to the United States.

"There's power in love," he repeated.

Curry said he recognized and wanted to honor a deep and abiding love between bride and groom.

"Watching the two of them up close, these are really two people in love," he said. "You could actually see it."

"In my entire life, in my wildest imagination, I never believed I would be spoofed on Saturday Night Live. And I loved it! It was a stitch," Curry said.

While in Raleigh, he ordained WRAL's David Crabtree.

Curry is the first African-American to have served as presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, an offshoot of the Church of England in the United States. It is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
