6 December (ENInews) Church leaders from ecumenical councils in the U.S. and Cuba wrapped up a five-day meeting in Havana on 2 December with a call for "normalized relations" between the two countries.
HAVANA – The first woman bishop of the Episcopal Church in Cuba, Maria Griselda Delgado, took office at a ceremony held in Havana, official media said Monday 29 November.
Retired Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Cuba Nerva Cot Aguilera died suddenly on July 10 after a brief battle with severe anemia. She was 71.
Members of a Cuban diocesan synod burst into applause and shouts of joy on Sunday when Archbishop Andrew Hutchison announced the appointment of Revd Canon Nerva Cot Aguilera as one of two new suffragan bishops for the Cuban Anglican Church.
She is the wife of Juan Ramon de la Paz Cerezo, Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral in Havana.
And in a particularly sweet moment, the announcement of her appointment followed a Eucharist during which their daughter, Marianela de la Paz Cot was ordained priest.
