The Most Reverend Michael Curry of the Episcopal Church captured millions with the focus of his sermon during this weekend's Royal Wedding. Curry's connection with Buffalo is now gaining attention.

William Franklin, the eleventh Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, recalled Curry as "a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills. That's the origin of his belief in hope."
