A controversial US bishop raised a few eyebrows in the chapel with his fiery address at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. The Most Reverend Michael Curry mentioned slavery, the Old Testament and quoted the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in his unusual speech. The passionate preacher provoked a few chuckles in the chapel - and even Harry and Meghan couldn't help but snigger at one point. Meanwhile Prince William seemed to be desperately trying to hold back a fit of giggles as Rev. Curry talked about how 'fire made it possible to text and tweet.

The Queen was definitely not amused.
That's what William and Charles were doing during the latter half hour of the sermon.
Your post is an excellent explanation.
I thought he might start singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” at one point there. His self-indulgence made me skeeve.
When he began talking about American slaves, I thought it was pretty cheesy of him to wipe all our faces with the shame of our longhand disgrace when the Windsor’s have totally accepted a “mulatto” into their family.
Why?
“So God is love means Let me tell you something new about the God you know: he is essential love, made of love, through and through. But Love is God means Let me tell you something about the love you already know, your own human love: that is God. That is the ultimate reality. That is as far as anything can ever go. Seek no further for God.
In other words, God is love is the profoundest thing we have ever heard. But love is God is deadly nonsense.”
Interesting thesis, and I largely agree even though I come from the love is God camp.
However, to explain that following the house analogy, “This house is wood” should not be followed by “Wood is the house”, but rather that “wood is part of the house, wood is from the house”. Thus, love is a part of God and from God.
Interesting. I think I will stop saying love is God, as it can be misunderstood and partly idolitry.
How does, “Love is Godly” sound?
“How does, Love is Godly sound?”
Works for me.
It didnt make sense and was like he was rambling in his own thoughts.
