[The Ven. Emilio Hernandez...]
The Ven. Emilio Hernandez, Archdeacon of the old Havana and Matanzas provinces, is the Bishop Coadjutor-elect of the Episcopal Church of Cuba and will eventually succeed the Rt. Rev. Jose A. Gonzalez who is making plans for his retire- ment. The Episcopal Church in Cuba became an autonomous province of the Anglican Communion in 1966. Until that date, it was a missionary diocese of the U. S. Episcopal Church.
