Bishop Michael Curry's sermon -- the full text
And now in the name of our loving, liberating and life-giving God, Father, Sson and Holy Spirit, Amen. From the Song of Solomon in the Bible, "Set me as a seal upon your heart, a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death. Passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire. A raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it out."
