Michael Curry, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, fell while visiting Syracuse, New York, and suffered a brain bleed that required surgery, the denomination’s Office of Public Affairs said in a news release. He was admitted December 3 to a hospital near his home in Raleigh, North Carolina, and underwent surgery.
The surgery was successful, the news release said, and the Office of Public Affairs issued an update December 7 saying Curry was recovering well in the hospital. Curry is “alert and talking, and his surgeon reports being happy with his progress,” the latest news release said.
Curry’s present hospitalization comes about two months after he underwent surgery to remove an adrenal gland and a non-cancerous attached mass.
