Bishop Michael Curry’s royal wedding sermon – CBS News (Youtube) Length: 13 mins
Curry’s sermon during the royal wedding of Harry and Meghan has many people buzzing for all sorts of reasons.

I’m now of mixed feelings about the content and delivery, but it’s doubtlessly entertaining, and hopefully useful.
