Okay, 1828 as opposed to 1776. But my point is that’s it’s highly reputable can’t be denied. It’s as reputable as anything in journalism. It’s as likely to criticise the royals as praise them. They publish without fear or favour.
I think the style of Reverand Curry's delivery of his sermon was so unfamiliar to some people that they lost sight of or didn't understand his message. The Antebellum South and MLK had broad meaning if you actually listened for the message.
I admit, I had to listen to his sermon a second time to "get it" all.
Exactly, I think he took for granted that his audience was going to automatically understand what he was getting at. I can imagine it's really hard for the British side of the family to switch gears from the CoE sermons that they're used to, to a sermon such as Reverend Curry's. For HM to have such a stormy look on her face, and for the other royals to look so uncomfortable, grimacing and eye rolling meant he had missed the mark. You can't deliver a message if your audience has tuned you out. And say what you want, the problem is with the Reverend, it was his job to deliver a message and he apparently failed to do his job with a lot of people.

They wrote the sermon????/
Billy Graham and Bishop Curry deliver two different messages with different styles. Because HMQ was a fan of the former doesn’t translate to the latter.
So, how long was his sermon supposed to last and hpw long did it last?
THE SERMON. I was not prepared. According to The New York Times, Bishop Curry is the “presiding bishop of the American Episcopal Church and its first African-American leader.” He took all those stuffy British royals TO CHURCH. He cited slavery and the negro spiritual “There Is A Balm in Gilead” to drive home a point about looking to love even in the darkest times. He quoted Martin Luther King Jr. about the power of love to “lift up and liberate when nothing else will.” A radical black civil rights leader and slavery were brought up at an event established by an institution of people who were instrumental in the slave trade and built their power and fortune on the backs of black bodies. DAMN. I was not prepared.
While many members of the royal family were looking at Bishop Curry in bewilderment, anyone who has ever been to a black church (especially a black American church) knows that this kind of passion and sincerity is standard. It is WORSHIP. It is to be expected and respected. The reactions to Bishop Curry’s sermon in that church were not respectful. The mouths agape and the stifled laughter were proof that this is the closest any of these people (I refuse to acknowledge the offenders by name) have come to a black church. Their reactions made me uncomfortable but they were a perfect indicator of how disconnected from black culture this monarchy has been and still is.
My point is that the CoE is essentially English in character [quelle surprise], undemonstrative, reticent and contemplative in character [reliant on ritual for its effect], so the strident, loud oratory [of the Rev Curry's variety] with its more spontaneous feeling, makes many uncomfortable.
I cannot help it if that is perceived as 'anti-American', any more than those who call people like me 'pearl clutchers' can help it when I consider them 'anti-British'.
I think a lot of users could do with reading this think piece± This Black Royal Wedding was very complicated for me as a black woman
To me, being uncomfortable by his sermon has everything to do with with white supremacy. And I know this will get people groaning because raising this issue seems most sensitive, but it needs to be said.
The reactions to the pastor´s sermon were disrespectful, flat out.

I have to say, I don't think it's comment like this one that's seemed anti-American. It was comments like Spectator has been around longer than your nation.
