Rocker to revivalist: Noted Anglican Bishop Mike Hill holds revival in Orangeburg, South Carolina

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Kendall Harmon

While most Christian ministers’ earliest influences are religious mentors and the Bible, Michael Hill’s involved rock music.

That’s what first impressed the Rev. Dr. Frank Larisey, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Orangeburg, about the current Bishop of Bristol, England.
“When he was about 17 or 18, he was in a band that opened for The Who,” Larisey said. “He was a good lead guitarist.”

The man who Larisey calls “one of the best speakers I’ve heard in my life” will bring his message, “What Happens When You Get It?” to the Church of the Redeemer beginning with a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. Friday, April 1. Hill will also give the sermon during the 8 and 10:30 a.m. worship services Sunday, April 3.

    “I’ve heard the late Billy Graham, and Bishop Hill is a world-class speaker,” Larisey said.
