Nassau, Bahamas - On
behalf of the Government and people of The Bahamas I extend condolences
to Dr. Keva Bethel, to the extended Eldon Family and to the whole Anglican
Community on the passing of the Rt. Rev. Michael Hartley Eldon, retired
Lord Bishop of the Anglican Church in The Bahamas and the Turks &
Cacios Islands
 

Bishop
Eldon leaves a significant legacy not only in the Anglican Community
but in the annals of a young nation in which he was the first local
priest to become prelate, having assumed that high church position fully
a year before we gained Independence in July of 1973...
