Reverend Curry is an example of how we should do more to listen. respect. and understand one another better so we can leave a place for future generations where opportunities are available for everyone. Reverend Curry has also led humanitarian missions to troubled regions like Iraq and Afghanistan to offer assistance and hope to those suffering through tragedies. He is someone who "walks the walk" when it comes to fighting for equality. religious freedom. and social justice both in his community and around the world. Whether he is listening to stories in refugee settlements or helping out with a national prayer breakfast. his passion for others shines through. and it is an honor to welcome him today.
