TODAY’S SPEAKER
The Right Reverend Kimberly “Kym” Lucas was ordained and consecrated as the 11th bishop of the Episcopal Church in Colorado on May 18, 2019, at Saint John’s Cathedral in Denver. Bishop Lucas became the first woman bishop as well as the first African American bishop in the diocese’s 132-year history.
Bishop Lucas was chosen as bishop during the Episcopal Church in Colorado’s 131st annual convention on October 27, 2018. She is one of seven Black women clergy currently serving as diocesan bishops, and she is featured in Westina Matthew’s recently published book, “This Band of Sisterhood: Black Women Bishops on Race, Faith, and the Church.”
From January 2012 until she began serving as bishop, she was the rector of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. Previously, she served as the rector of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, from 2005 to 2011.
Bishop Lucas grew up in Spring Lake, North Carolina, and she received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Wake Forest University. She earned a Master of Divinity degree, New Testament, from Union Theological Seminary in New York. Bishop Lucas and her husband, Mark Retherford, have four children.
