Bishop Budde mug

Mariann Edgar Budde is an American prelate of the Episcopal Church. She has served as the bishop of Washington since November 2011. She is Washington's first female diocesan bishop.

Budde was ordained as a deacon in 1988 and as a priest in 1989. She served as rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from 1993 until she became the bishop of Washington in 2011. In 2017, she oversaw the removal of Washington National Cathedral's stained-glass windows honoring Confederate generals, which were replaced in 2023 with windows representing the civil rights movement. In 2018, she presided over the interment of the ashes of Matthew Shepard, a murdered gay man, at the cathedral.

She delivered a benediction at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. In January 2025, Budde delivered the homily at the interfaith prayer service following Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration. Her sermon called for compassion and mercy toward marginalized groups. -- From Wikipedia
