[Episcopal News Service – Houston, Texas] Presiding Bishop Michael Curry told the International Black Clergy Conference Nov. 16 that the Jesus Movement is not a “Michael Curry concoction” that will have a limited shelf life.

“It is a solemn call to reclaim our deepest origins – the deepest roots of who we are – and thereby know how to be oriented in a time of profound disorientation,” he said in his keynote address that was titled “The Jesus Movement: Embracing Our Call.”
