The Rev. Dr. Joshua Daniel

Associate Rector for Evangelism and Discipleship
479-426-2526 |

Joshua Daniel joined St. Columba’s staff in March 2020 as Associate Rector for Discipleship and Worship. Joshua loves working in the Body of Christ, in all its strange and wonderful forms. He hopes to bring a sense of excitement about the possibilities of growing in faith, deepening in worship, and doing his small part to help make the kingdom of God a nearer reality in this corner of the world.

Born and raised in Bentonville, AR, Joshua studied philosophy and theology at Greenville College, Oxford University, and graduated with a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Arkansas. During his time at the University, he taught philosophy, worked for an academic journal, and served as the Episcopal Chaplain, transforming a small college ministry into a vibrant and diverse community. Prior to his arrival at St. Columba’s, in his first call to ordained ministry, he led a spirit-filled congregation as Priest-in-Charge of a parish in the Mississippi Delta.

Joshua, his wife Jenna, and their three children are thrilled to return to the DC area after graduating from Virginia Theological Seminary in 2018. While at VTS, Joshua co-edited "Reasonable Radical?" (Pickwick 2018) with the Dean and President of the seminary, the Very Rev. Dr. Ian Markham.

Associate Rector for Worship and Discipleship

Adelyn Tyler-Williams serves at the Associate Rector for Worship and Discipleship, in other words she spends time on all things liturgy and works with the staff team to support Christian education.

She is originally from Atlanta, GA and was ordained by the Diocese of Atlanta in 2021.

Adelyn earned her Master of Divinity from Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, TX and her Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies at Sewanee: University of the South. She has particular interest in the intersection of art and spirituality, queer theology, and embodied faith.

Beyond church, Adelyn loves cooking, crafting, and exploring. Her wife, Angela, is a Presbyterian pastor and a founder of SACReD (Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity). They live with Mouse the Cat.
