Cuban bishop to deliver sermon at Christ Church in Greenwich

From Connecticut-

Christ Church in Greenwich will host a special visitor this Sunday.

The Right Rev. Griselda Delgado del Carpio, the Episcopal bishop of Cuba, will be the guest preacher at the 10 a.m. service in town. After the service, the bishop will meet with parishioners and interested people at coffee hour.

Delgado del Carpio is the first woman consecrated as a diocesan bishop in all of Latin America.

Pat Cage, who has been working with the bishop to build up the Episcopal faith in Cuba, said she is an inspiring presence.

“She is so lovely and peaceful and gentle, and she draws people to her,” said Cage, a Darien resident who traveled recently with the church leader in Cuba. “She is also very determined and has a wonderful vision, and she has a huge commitment to her flock.”

Cage’s husband, Jeremy, will translate Delgado del Carpio’s sermon into English from Spanish, as she is more comfortable speaking in her native language.
