John Wadsworth Howe (born November 4, 1942) is an American Anglican bishop.

He is a retired bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, serving from 1990 to 2012.

[3] Howe was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Central Florida in 1989 and was consecrated on April 15, 1989, at the Calvary Assembly worship center in Winter Park, Florida, by Presiding Bishop Edmond L.

He explained that one of the main reasons for him to change denominations had been the redefinition of the traditional understanding of marriage and the way in which Bishop William Love, of Albany, was being treated for opposing same-sex marriage in his diocese.

He will become a retired bishop of the Anglican Church in North America in the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic.
