Statement from Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry on the death of Queen Elizabeth II

Thursday, September 8, 2022

Today we mourn the passing and celebrate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. My prayers for peace go out for her, for her loved ones, and for all those who knew and loved her throughout the world.
 
Her resilience, her dignity, and her model of quiet faith and piety have been—and will continue to be—an example for so many.
 
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
 
The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry
Presiding Bishop and Primate
The Episcopal Church
