[Anglican Communion News Service] The Rt. Rev. Philip Wright, bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Belize, has been elected archbishop of the Church in the Province of the West Indies at the 42nd Triennial Provincial Synod held in Nassau, Bahamas.
Succeeding Archbishop Howard Gregory, who retired Dec. 31, 2024, Wright’s election marks a historic moment for Belize and the wider Caribbean Anglican community, as he becomes the second bishop from Belize, formerly British Honduras, to hold the office.
Reflecting on his election, Wright said: “It is quite an overwhelming moment. When I started my journey into ministry, I would never have imagined a day like this would come. It gives me great joy to serve the church I love and have devoted the majority of my life to, and to continue to be part of moving the mission and ministry of the church forward.”
