Episcopal Church of Cuba

Episcopal Church of Cuba

Die Episkopalkirche von Kuba (span. Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba) ist ein Teil der Anglikanischen Kirchengemeinschaft. Ursprünglich durch US-Missionare der Episcopal Church in the USA gegründet war sie bis 1967 Teil dieser Kirche. Aufgrund politischer Spannungen zwischen den USA und dem kommunistisch gewordenen Kuba wurde die kubanische Episkopalkirche 1967 ein selbstständiges Bistum der anglikanischen Gemeinschaft, das zu keiner Kirchenprovinz gehört.

22 Priester, davon 2 Frauen, und 3 Diakone, betreuen heute etwa 5.000 Gläubige in 28 Gemeinden und 43 Missionen. Am 10. Juni 2007 wurde Nerva Cot zur Weihbischöfin geweiht. Sie ist die erste Frau, die in einem Entwicklungsland für das anglikanischen Bischofsamt geweiht wurde.[1] Die Kirche untersteht einem Metropolitankonzil, dessen Vorsitzender der Primas der Anglican Church of Canada ist, und dem auch der Presiding Bishop der US-Episkopalkirche sowie der Primas der Kirchenprovinz der Westindischen Inseln angehören.
