Bishop Michael Curry endorses
A Sermon for Every Sunday

Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, was one of the first preachers to record sermons for ASFES. He was still Bishop of North Carolina in those days, but was excited about this new project and its potential to help small churches that did not have or could not afford a regular preacher. This interview was recorded on his iPhone at the Festival of Homiletics in Minneapolis in May, 2014, and later posted on his blog.

“I look forward to the weekly emails from A Sermon for Every Sunday more than almost any other email I receive. Listening to these sermons helps me grow and learn and prompts wonderful faith-filled conversations at dinner. Thank you for this ministry!” –Andrea

A Sermon for Every Sunday is guided by the conviction that every person is made in God’s image and therefore seeks to be fully inclusive.
