From North Carolina-The mitre will be given by retired Bishop Robert C. Johnson Jr., who served as rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Durham before becoming bishop in 1994. Hodges-Copple was his assistant at St. Luke’s beginning in the mid-1980s.
“It will be a wonderful moment because I met Bob when I was 26,” she said, and Hodges-Copple preached at Johnson’s consecration as bishop. After her first time working at St. Luke’s, Hodges-Copple went to work at Duke University as a chaplain, then came back to St. Luke’s as rector until being elected bishop suffragan.
he Rev. Anne E. Hodges-Copple has just a few days left before she is consecrated as bishop suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, a jurisdiction that includes the state’s two largest cities. The ceremony will be held Saturday at Duke Chapel. She will receive more vestments than a layperson can name, including the mitre (a bishop’s hat) and crosier (the shepherd’s staff).
