The Royal Wedding Made Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry a Superstar. Can the Religious Left Translate that into Political Change?
The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein reports on the organizing of the religious left, which got an unexpected boost after the Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry’s blockbuster sermon at the royal wedding. Curry participated in “Reclaiming Jesus,” an event in D.C. for progressive Christians that drew 1,000 people for a candlelight march to the White House. Boorstein writes, “Curry is working hard in his recent public appearances to emphasize inclusion across the political and demographic spectrum and to shift attention from positions on specific policy measures to doing what is broadly seen as morally right.”
