He wasn’t the stand-out speaker because he was the highest-ranking person in the room. Nor was he the stand-out speaker because he knew his subject matter better than anyone else (the Archbishop of Canterbury was right there in the room). And he wasn’t the stand-out speaker because he was some famous celebrity that everyone in the room was excited to hear from. Most had never seen or heard of him.

Reverend Michael Curry stood out because he did several things that it would be awesome if more speakers were able to do at our events.
