Each day during March, we celebrate the contributions 31 women have made and recognize their specific achievement as bishop in the Episcopal Church.
Today we celebrate Bishop Jennifer Anne Reddall of the Diocese of Arizona
Jennifer A. Reddall was elected the first woman and Sixth Bishop of Arizona on October 20, 2018, consecrated on March 9, 2019 and was seated on April 7, 2019. “Bishop Reddall, who was previously the Rector of the Church of the Epiphany in New York City, believes the world is hungering for Good News, and that the “Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement” has a compelling message of joy, love, and justice to share.”

“All bishops of the Episcopal Church, active or retired, make up the House of Bishops. Like the governing body of the United States, the governing body of the Episcopal Church (called “the General Convention”) is comprised of two Houses: the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies. They meet and act separately, and both Houses must concur to adopt legislation. General Convention meets every three years, and the House of Bishops meets twice a year between conventions in a non-legislative capacity. The Presiding Bishop is the president of the House of Bishops.”
