In his highly anticipated talk, Bishop Curry will explore how individuals can cultivate inner peace and spiritual resilience amidst life’s uncertainties. Drawing from his deep faith and extensive pastoral experience, Curry will guide attendees on a meaningful journey toward surrendering anxieties and embracing trust in divine guidance.
“In moments of turmoil, the path to peace isn’t through holding tighter, but through letting go,” says Bishop Curry. “When we allow ourselves to release our fears and trust God, that’s when genuine calm and clarity emerge.”
The Courage & Faith series at Christ Church Greenwich seeks to inspire thoughtful engagement and spiritual growth through dialogues with distinguished leaders and thinkers.

About Courage + Faith:
In a rapidly changing world, what new ways of worship and community might reignite a sense of spiritual relevance for those searching for meaning? How can we reflect God’s love in a culture that often seems disconnected from faith? How do we unite with compassion in an era marked by deep divisions and global unrest?
Courage & Faith is a dynamic speaker series designed to explore these questions. In partnership, Rev. Justin Crisp from St. Barnabas and Rev. Marek Zabriskie from Christ Church Greenwich provide thought-provoking lectures, artistic performances, and immersive spiritual experiences to inspire, challenge, and equip individuals to live out their faith with courage and purpose in today’s complex world. Together, we hope to spark meaningful dialogue about what it looks like to follow Jesus with authenticity and boldness in our daily lives.
