[Episcopal News Service] Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry was admitted to the hospital on August 17, 2023, according to an August 21 release from the church’s Office of Public Affairs.
The cause was a reoccurrence of the internal bleeding that required him to be hospitalized over Memorial Day weekend, the release said.
Curry’s doctors were able to intervene in this instance. His medical team is assessing the risks and benefits of surgically removing his right adrenal gland and an attached mass, which may be the source of the internal bleeding. The release calls on the church to “please pray for the doctors’ discernment.”
“I am so grateful for your prayers,” Curry said. “I expect that the work of the medical team will lead to healing that will make a difference. Fervent prayer plus good medical care is a powerful combination. In all things God is good.”
Following his earlier hospitalization, Curry continued to work on a reduced schedule from his home in Raleigh, North Carolina. He made two appearances in July at the Episcopal Youth Event and the It’s All About Love festival, both held in Baltimore, Maryland.
Curry is expected to be discharged on August 22.
