[2] As of 2021[update], it had nearly 1,600 members and an average worship attendance of more than 600 in forty-four parishes, including the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Havana.

[1] The Episcopal Church of Cuba traces its origins back to an Anglican presence that began on the island in 1871.

[4] Internal divisions over a range of issues including the possibility of rejoining the Episcopal Church in the United States (ECUSA) and the election of a successor to Bishop Perera,[5] led to a long period of instability within the Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba, which found itself unable to elect a bishop for many years.

Following a number of attempts at resolution of the problem, the Metropolitan Council, in February 2007, appointed Canon Nerva Cot Aguilera and Ulises Mario Aguero Prendes as suffragan bishops of the Iglesia Episcopal de Cuba to carry out pastoral oversight under the direction of Bishop Tamayo.

[8] Bishop Tamayo worked industriously to heal divisions within the diocese, but repeated attempts to elect his successor ultimately failed.

[11] In July 2018, at the 79th Episcopal General Convention, both the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies voted unanimously to re-admit the Episcopal Church of Cuba to ECUSA[12][13] as a diocese of province II (also called the Atlantic Province), which includes dioceses from New York and New Jersey in the United States, Haiti, and the Virgin Islands.
