Belize has achieved a historic milestone with the appointment of Phillip S. Wright as the first Belizean Archbishop of the Anglican Church’s Province of the West Indies. Archbishop Wright, a native of Belize City, was celebrated during a homecoming event on Friday, marking a moment of national pride and recognition of his decades-long dedication to ministry. Born and raised in the southside of Belize City, Wright felt a calling to priesthood as early as nine years old, a path that led him to seminary and eventually to the highest ecclesiastical position in the region. At 58, Archbishop Wright reflects on his journey, from serving as an acolyte in his youth to becoming a bishop at 38 and now an archbishop. His role involves overseeing the province’s dioceses, chairing meetings of bishops, and representing the Anglican Church on international platforms. Reverend Elswith Clare, Methodist Bishop, praised Wright’s election as a testament to his spiritual guidance, pastoral wisdom, and commitment to the gospel. Archbishop Wright emphasized the privilege of accompanying people through life’s significant moments and helping them find purpose. Addressing the timeless question of evil in a world governed by a benevolent God, Wright acknowledged the complexity of the issue but expressed hope in a brighter future under divine control. The archbishop has received widespread congratulations from across Belize and the region, cementing his legacy as a beacon of faith and service.
