Bishop invokes MLK during royal wedding sermon: 'There's power in love'

[The Hill] An American bishop invoked the words of Martin Luther King Jr. during a soaring sermon at the wedding of the U.K.'s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Saturday.

"The late Dr. Martin Luther King once said and I quote: 'We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will make of this whole world a new world. But love, love is the only way," Bishop Michael Curry said.

"There's power in love. Don't underestimate it. Don't even oversentimentalize it. There is power, power in love."

The sermon from the Chicago-born bishop was a break from tradition for a royal wedding. Curry was invited to speak by Harry and Markle, an American actress.
