Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry is resting at home following a hospitalization to address a reoccurrence of internal bleeding. He will undergo surgery to remove his right adrenal gland and an attached mass on Friday, Sept. 8, and his surgeon estimates his recovery period will be two to three weeks, after which Bishop Curry is expected to resume his regular work schedule.

Appropriate adjustments will be made to Bishop Curry’s September schedule. Please continue to pray for Bishop Curry, his family, and his entire medical team.
