Poulson C. Reed (b. 1970) is bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma. At the end of 2020, he will succeed the Rt. Rev. Edward J. Konieczny as bishop of Oklahoma. At the time of his election on December 14, 2019, he was rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church and Day School in Phoenix, Arizona. He was elected by the diocesan convention on the second ballot.
