Nassau, The Bahamas - I am deeply saddened to learn of the
untimely passing of the Right Reverend Cornell Moss in a Miami hospital on
Saturday, 30
th
May 2015
Bahamians fondly remember the Venerable Cornell Jerome Moss who served
the Anglican Diocese in The Bahamas with distinction, rising to the post of
Archdeacon of Nassau and the Bahamas. Later, he was selected a Bishop by the
House of Bishops of the Province of the West Indies when they met in
conference from
August 25-27 in 2009, succeeding the Right Rev. Randolph George
who retired on December 31, 2008.
He presided over the Anglican Diocese of Guyana and Suriname until
his death.
In addition to the great pride I as a Bahamian took in
his role as a Bishop serving in Guyana, I appreciated his friendship and
support for the progressive movement and cause and in supporting the work of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I extend heartfelt condolences to his wife, his mother
and the extended Anglican family both at home and abroad, especially in Guyana
and the Ascension Anglican Parish in Freeport, Grand Bahama.
May his soul rest in peace.
