(58,785 posts)a royal wedding in St. George's Cathedral was going to be celebrated with gospel music. Wonderful!
But before that I woke up to Episcopal Bishop Curry. I'd muted the sound before he came on and only clued in when I glanced up and saw his arms waving, and him leaning casually on the pulpit to put across his message, that something very different was happening. Then I backed up and listened to the whole thing. Not being a person of faith, I don't feel the power of God's love, but I wouldn't dream of disputing its secular power for good.
Very special messages all the way

It is especially moving for me. Just about 3 years ago, while my son was in Tanzania with the Peace Corps, my two daughters planned a surprise 30th anniversary party for my husband and I. My son sent us a video of him singing this song!
I wish these young folks well and hope they always have each other to stand by!
