November 1, 2018:
Bishop Michael Curry, who gave a spirited and unforgettable sermon at the royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, joins TODAY to talk about his newest book, “The Power of Love.” In light of the tragedy in Pittsburgh in which 11 died in a shooting at a synagogue, Curry sheds light on how faith and grief coincide, saying: “We deal with grief honestly and forthrightly. When it hurts it hurts, and don’t pretend it doesn’t hurt.”
