Anne Marie Roderick and Joshua Stephen Witchger were married Saturday by the Rev. Frank G. Dunn, an Episcopal priest, at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan, where the bride’s parents met and were married.
The bride, 26, who will take the groom’s name, received a master of divinity from the Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan in May. In August, she is to begin a chaplaincy residency program at WellSpan Health York Hospital in York, Pa. She graduated from Earlham College in Richmond, Ind.
She is a daughter of Maxine Phillips and Tom Roderick of Manhattan. The bride’s father is the executive director of the Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility in Manhattan. Her mother retired as the executive editor of Dissent, a quarterly journal of opinion in Manhattan.
