From Barbados-
Newly named as Anglican Bishop of Barbados, Reverend
Michael Maxwell has been urged not to resign from his position as an
Independent Senator.
The call came from several of his colleagues in the Upper
House today, including President of the Senate Sir Richard Cheltenham
and Opposition Senator Caswell Franklyn, as they congratulated him on
his elevation to the head of the former state church.
Maxwell had signalled his intention to discuss his
position with Governor General Dame Sandra Mason before making a
decision on his future in the Upper Chamber.
The 47-year-old Rector of Holy Trinity Church was chosen
by the House of Bishops in the Church of the Province of the West Indies
last Friday to head the island’s largest religious denomination. This
follows months of deadlock as the Anglican Synod could not choose one of
two contenders.
