Roaf, who will be installed in a consecration service May 4, is rector at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, the oldest African-American church in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, where she has served as the parish leader since 2011.

Roaf, who earned a law degree from the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, and clerked two years for Judge James L. Dennis, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, worked in commercial real estate before pursuing a call to serve the Episcopal Church as clergy.
