From Episcopal News Service:The Rt. Rev. Griselda Delgado Del Carpio was installed as bishop of the Episcopal Church of Cuba during a Nov. 28 ceremony at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Havana.
Among those attending the ceremony were Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and Archbishop Fred Hiltz of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Delgado, 55, was consecrated as bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Church of Cuba on Feb. 7 and has since worked with Bishop Miguel Tamayo of the Anglican Church of Uruguay as he completed his six-year tenure as Cuba's interim bishop. With Tamayo's retirement, Delgado becomes Cuba's diocesan bishop and the first woman to serve in that role.
Blessings and congratulations to Bishop Griselda Delgado del Carpio!
And good on our Bishop Katharine and Archbishop Fred Hiltz of the ACofC for being there. I'll wager that the Presiding Bishop was permitted to wear her mitre.
Wonderful news! Another bright STAR in the Anglican sky.
