Biography

Anne graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Duke University in 1979. After working as a community organizer for several years following graduation, she earned a Master of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion in 1984. She was ordained deacon in 1987 and priest in 1988, and served as assistant of St Luke’s Church in Durham, North Carolina until 1992. She then became the Episcopal chaplain to Duke University until 2005, when she returned to St Luke’s Church as rector.

Anne was elected on January 25, 2013 as Suffragan Bishop of North Carolina. She was consecrated as a bishop on June 15, 2013.[2] From November 1, 2015 until July 15, 2017, she served as Bishop Pro Tempore of the Diocese of North Carolina, due to the resignation of Michael Bruce Curry to become the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. She returned to bishop suffragan upon the consecration of Samuel Sewall Rodman III as 12th Bishop Diocesan of North Carolina. Hodges-Copple is the first female bishop in the Diocese of North Carolina.[3]

gollark: ... what even
gollark: There was some nice elegant explanation I forgot. IIRC it's something to do with the derivative of e^x being equal to itself.
gollark: I assume you're doing binomial distributions if whatever A-level spec you do is similar to mine, which it probably is, in which case I don't think they cover anything more advanced than trial and error/look at a table for that. Although it's probably <=/>= instead of = 0.02, as there's no guarantee that there is any x satisfying the = version.
gollark: It *also* matters how it's distributed.
gollark: I'm pretty sure you need information about what "X" is there.
