Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington D.C.
“And I Objected”. September 28, 2023
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington D.C. and one of the most influential women in American Christianity. Her new book, How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith, was born out of her response to President Donald Trump’s bible-waving photo op in front of an Episcopal church during the protest summer of 2020. 

Right, Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde. Spiritual leader for 86 Episcopal congregations and ten Episcopal schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties. The first woman elected to this position, she also serves as the chair and president of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, which oversees the ministries of the Washington National Cathedral and Cathedral schools.
