The Bishop of Mandeville in the Diocese of Jamaica, the Rt. Revd Harold Daniel, and who is himself a former Church Army Evangelist, has been appointed Chairman of the Council of Church Army International. He takes over from Mr Roy Totten from Northern Ireland.
Bishop Daniel who is married to the Revd Canon Judith Daniel grew up in Montserrat and moved to England as a young man living and worshipping in North London. It was from there that he responded to a call to serve God as an Evangelist in Church Army. He trained at the organisations college which was at that time in Central London. He had hoped that it might be possible to return to his home country of Montserrat. However following his training he was sent to work with Church Army Jamaica and he has remained in that country ever since.
Bishop Daniel spent eighteen years serving as a Church Army Evangelist in Jamaica working in various parishes, and also as the Diocesan Youth Evangelist. Following ordination he served in a number of parishes in the Kingston and Montego Bay areas. He was elected Suffragan Bishop of Mandeville eight years ago.
