US Episcopal Church Leader Condemns Embargo in Havana
Havana.- The president of the US Episcopal Church, Bishop Frank T.
Grisworld, condemned the Washington-imposed embargo on Cuba during a mass in
Havana.
Grisworld officiated mass on Sunday at the Episcopal Cathedral of the Holy
Trinity in Havana, during which he explained that the US Episcopal Church
opposes the economic embargo that his government has imposed on the Cuban
government for more than 40 years.
The US religious leader, whose congregation gathers 3.4 million believers in
the United States, considered that Washington's sanctions "have just
worsened the Cuban people's sufferings". [That'll teach 'em to mess with the
Empire, right, Mr. Lobbyist?]
The US bishop arrived in Havana on Friday for a six-day visit, during which
he will meet with local authorities and will visit hospitals, schools and
the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Matanzas.
