Clergy and Staff
The Rev. Kristin P. R. Wickersham, Rector
Mother Kristin has served at Epiphany since she was called to the parish on the Feast of Pentecost in 2022. Ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia in 2019, she previously worked as an environmental chemist and served as a Montessori school trustee and community volunteer. She is also a certified conflict mediator through the Lombard Mennonite Peace Foundation.
Born in Indonesia and raised in Southeast Asia, she brings an appreciation for multicultural communities to her ministry. Preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and prayer are central to her work. As a professional spiritual director, she accompanies people seeking a deeper relationship with God. She is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Nashotah House Theological Seminary, with particular interests in ecumenism, Anglican sacramental theology, and liturgy.
Her service in the Diocese of Virginia includes a three-year term on the Standing Committee, serving as its president in 2024. The committee advises the bishop and shares responsibility for diocesan governance. She currently serves on the Diocesan Disciplinary Board and has previously served on the Creation Care Committee and the Constitution and Canons Committee.
Within the wider Church, Mother Kristin convenes the St. John the Evangelist chapter of the Society of Catholic Priests, which supports priestly spirituality and evangelism in the Anglican Communion. In 2026, she was admitted as a Member of the Order of St John, an international order dedicated to humanitarian service, including providing eye care to people in the Holy Land regardless of their faith or ability to pay.
Away from parish life, she enjoys playing classical piano and competing in dog sports. She also holds a black belt in Taekwondo.
