Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba
- Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba
The Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba (Spanish for "Episcopal Church of Cuba") consists of forty-six parishes, and about ten thousand members. It is a part of the Anglican Communion, though part of no ecclesiastical province. The Anglican presence on the island of Cuba was founded in 1901.
The Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba is a single extra-provincial diocese led by a bishop. Currently, Miguel Tamayo-Zaldivar serves as the interim Bishop of Cuba, alongside being Bishop of Uruguay in the Iglesia Anglicana del Cono Sur de las Americas. Bishop Miguel is a native Cuban who moved to Uruguay to serve as a missionary. On 6 February 2007, Canon Nerva Cot Aguilera and Ulises Mario Aguero Prendes were both appointed suffragan bishops of the Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba to carry out pastoral oversight under the direction of Bishop Miguel. They were consecrated on 10 June 2007. [ [http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_86792_ENG_HTM.htm Cuban Episcopalians welcome new bishops suffragan] , Episcopal Life Online, 11 June 2007.] Bishop Cot is the first woman appointed a bishop in Latin America.
As an extra-provincial diocese, Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba receives oversight from its Metropolitan Council rather than any one metropolitan bishop. The Council exercises its oversight "in matters of Faith and Order." [ [http://www.anglicancommunion.org/tour/province.cfm?ID=Y2 Anglican Communion Provincial Page: Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba] ] The Metropolitan Council is chaired by the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada (currently Fred Hiltz), the Archbishop of the Church in the Province of the West Indies (currently Drexel Gomez), and the Presiding Bishop of the United States of America (currently Katharine Jefferts Schori).
