The British royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arguably reached its apex on the soaring rhetoric of the Most Reverend Michael Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church whose sermon included a riff on love and fire that referenced--of all things--a scientist. "The late French Jesuit, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, was at once a scientist, a Roman Catholic priest, a theologian, a true mystic," said Curry in his sermon. "He suggested that the discovery and harnessing of fire was one of the great technological discoveries of human history." "In light of this, de Chardin said that if human beings ever harness the energies of love, then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire," he added, after passionately listing the contributions that fire has made to human welfare. "Love is the very fire and energy of real life!"
