Rev. Betsey Monnot is a priest of the Episcopal Church and Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Iowa.
Monnot was elected on the third ballot as the X Bishop of Iowa at a special diocesan convention held on July 30, 2021, in Des Moines. At the time of election, she was priest-in-charge of St. Clement's Episcopal Church in Rancho Cordova, California.[1] Prior to that she was co-rector with her husband at All Saint's Episcopal Church in Sacramento, California.[2] A majority of the standing committees and Bishops were required to consent to her election, and these consents were all obtained by mid September, 2021.[3] Bishop-elect Monnot will be consecrated and installed in office on December 18, 2021.[4] She likely will be the 1,139th Bishop consecrated in the Episcopal Church, and the first female Bishop of Iowa.
