Bishop Curry Addresses 2016 Brotherhood Convention in Mesa AZ

MESA, Arizona, by Jack Hanstein and Jim Goodson – “Don’t grow weary, Brotherhood of St. Andrew,” Presiding Bishop Michael Curry told 158 Brothers and guests April 7. “Your core mission is the same as the core mission of the church. “It’s the same mission that began on the shore of the Sea of Galilee when Jesus told two brothers named Peter and Andrew to drop their fishing nets and to ‘come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men.’ ”Bishop Curry is honorary president of the Brotherhood and a staunch supporter of the Episcopal Church’s oldest men’s ministry. “When I was rector at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Balti more, we had a dozen ministries and 11 of them were women’s guilds,” the Presiding Bishop said. “And each one had a particular Sunday to be recognized. “But my favorite Sunday all year long was when our one and only men’s ministry – the Brotherhood of St. Andrew – came marching in on their Sunday. We had about 100 men in their blue blazers standing together as one. They were impressive – like a mighty army of God. That’s what I think of when someone

mentions the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.” See complete article HERE.
