              So much has changed at the Washington National Cathedral since your 
              Mystery Worshipper last visited. 
               
              It is a very different place now since the new bishop, the Rt Revd 
              Mariann Edgar Budde, was consecrated as the ninth bishop of Washington 
              in November 2011. Bishop Mariann has appointed a new dean, the Very 
              Revd Gary Hall, and the cathedral now has its own congregational 
              group, headed by the vicar, the Revd Canon Jan Naylor Cope. 
               
              Dean Hall has been actively reaching out on social issues such as 
              gun control (after Sandy Hook), LGBT rights, and interfaith collaboration. 
               
              The wind of the Holy spirit is moving on Mount St Albans.
