Presiding Bishop Michael Curry scheduled for procedure to address reoccurring subdural hematomas



Tomorrow, Jan. 18, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will undergo a procedure in Raleigh, North Carolina, for his reoccurring subdural hematomas. This procedure, which has high rates of success, uses a catheter to place a metal coil that prevents blood from pooling in the brain.

Bishop Curry’s medical team anticipates he will need to stay one night in the hospital for observation and will then continue his recovery at home, and he offered the following words to the church:

“Up to this point, we have been responding to emergency situations, but this is a positive and proactive approach designed to get these bleeds under control. The procedure has a very good success rate, and I am hopeful this will address the underlying issues.

“I continue to be so thankful for all your prayers, which have been working in tandem with my medical team’s excellent care. I count it a blessing to be in an area with good research hospitals and in a loving church with such faithful, prayerful support.” 

Updates will be provided as they become available; please continue to hold Bishop Curry, his family, and his medical team in your prayers.

Let the healing begin!

If you've ever had a discussion on racial healing, then you know it's not something so cut and dry. It's a process that involves introspection and much more than just apologies.

If you've never had this discussion before, 2024 is the perfect time to get started and join us in our first Striving for Justice conversation of the year, January 28. And if you have had this discussion before, we'd love to see you, as well.

This will be the first in a three part series called "Healing," and this month I'll be discussing a pilgrimage I took to Ghana last April and how that plays into my own journey.

We'll meet at St. Thomas Episcopal Church from 4-5:30 p.m. and will have some refreshments.

Save the dates for our upcoming sessions, Feb. 25 and March 24. For both of these months, we will discuss the Equal Justice Initiative's Community Remembrance Project, which is an effort to locally memorialize and educate communities on victims of racial violence. In February, Harris County representatives will discuss their Community Remembrance Project, and in March, Muscogee County will do the same.

I hope to see you for any and all of these sessions! Let the healing begin!
