American bishop who preached at royal wedding has cancer surgery

An Episcopal Church spokeswoman said the surgery was performed on Tuesday on the Most Rev Michael Curry.

The 65-year-old announced his cancer diagnosis last week and said he planned to have surgery to remove the prostate gland.

Rev Curry said he expected to spend four to six weeks recuperating. He said he would resume his duties as presiding bishop of the church in early September.
