A Sermon by the Rt. Rev. Carlye Hughes

Sunday, March 19, 2023 during Festal Evensong at 4pm

The Rt. Rev. Carlye Hughes, Bishop of Newark, NJ

The Rt. Rev. Carlye J. Hughes was ordained as the XI Bishop of Newark in 2018. Her greatest delight is shepherding the needs and opportunities for ministry in the diocese.

Raised as the daughter of a successful high school sports coach, she sees herself as the “Head Coach of Spiritual Life and Formation” in the Diocese of Newark. Her ministry is shaped by an oversight that empowers others to embrace and live boldly into their own ministry beyond the doors of the church. Her vision for the diocese is a simple one: change the world by taking God’s love everywhere we go. Bishop Hughes is grateful to the many parishes, clergy, and lay leaders that have blessed her ministry all through her life.

She is a proud graduate of Virginia Theological Seminary and a strong supporter of all Episcopal Seminaries.
