The Rev. Griselda Delgado del Carpio was installed Bishop of the Episcopal (Anglican) Church in Cuba at a ceremony Sunday at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Havana’s Vedado district.
Among the present were Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori, President Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States, and the Most Rev. Frederick James Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. …
Delgado, 55, is the first woman to hold such a high rank in the Cuban Episcopal Church, replacing Bishop Miguel Tamayo Zaldívar, who retired this fall. …
She was in Washington Nov. 15-16 as part of a delegation of Cuban religious leaders lobbying for a lifting of the restrictions on religious and other “people-to-people” travel imposed in 2005 by the Bush administration.
