Love Is The Way Video Series

In 2020, Bishop Michael Curry wrote Love is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times. It is also a video series. Read the book, and in five sessions listen to the reflections by The Rev. Canon Melissa McCarthy, The Rev. Dr. Antonio Gallardo, The Very. Rev. Dr. Canon Gary Hall, Gabriel Vasquez-Reyes, and Bishop John H. Taylor and follow along with the study materials provided.

Walk the path of love with one of the warmest, most beloved spiritual leaders of our time, and learn how to put faith into action.

As the descendant of slaves and the son of a civil rights activist, Bishop Michael Curry’s life illustrates massive changes in our times. Much of the world met Bishop Curry when he delivered his sermon on the redemptive power of love at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle. Here, he expands on his message of hope in an inspirational road map for living the way of love, illuminated with moving lessons from his own life. Through the prism of his faith, ancestry, and personal journey, Love Is the Way shows us how America came this far and, more important, how to go a whole lot further.

The way of love is essential for addressing the seemingly insurmountable challenges facing the world today: poverty, racism, selfishness, deep ideological divisions, competing claims to speak for God. This book will lead readers to discover the gifts they need in order to live the way of love: deep reservoirs of hope and resilience, simple wisdom, the discipline of nonviolence, and unshakable regard for human dignity.
