Episcopal question?

Ok, this is sort of wedding related in my case, but it is a general question.

What do you call a female preist in an Episcopal churh.

She says 'Joan' when she calls, but what's the formal way?
I know a man is Father--, like in Catholic churches, not reverand like Protestant churches.
Is a woman Reverand?

We are going to meet her on Saturday & if we have to ask for her, I don't want say, 'Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find Joan?'

We have a male and a female priest (who happen to be married) at my church. They are both addressed as Rev.

how cute!
a married preacher couple.

Thanks- I figured rev., but my friend calls hers Father Shane, and they call themselves preists, not ministers, so I didn't know if it was different. (Although some Catholic preists go by Reverand too, so there goes that theory )


Thanks so much! Now, if I could only remember her last name!
