Statement on COVID-19 from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

September 29, 2022
Office of Public Affairs

My beloved family in Christ,

Earlier today I tested positive for COVID-19, and I will be participating in upcoming events remotely or through pre-recorded messages.

I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and I am grateful for the scientific advances of vaccines and antiviral treatments that help prevent serious illness and death. I encourage you to talk to your doctor about receiving all vaccinations and boosters for which you are eligible.

So far, I have mild symptoms, but I would appreciate your prayers for an uneventful and swift recovery. Likewise, I will hold you and all of God’s children in my prayers as we walk in the light of Jesus’ love together.

Yours in Christ,

Michael B. Curry
Presiding Bishop and Primate
The Episcopal Church
