THE RIGHT REV. MARIANN EDGAR BUDDE, Episcopal Diocese of Washington

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the first woman elected spiritual leader for the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, which includes the Washington National Cathedral and other congregations and Episcopal schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties. Previously, Bishop Budde served as rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for 18 years.

Join us as Bishop Budde shares her thoughts on the intersection of faith and politics and speaking truth to power. She will offer insight on how courage is contagious and necessary.

We are grateful to the Minneapolis Foundation for their support in bringing Rev. Budde to the Forum.
