Biography

Bishop Neil was born in Dunder Hill, a village in St Elizabeth, Jamaica.[1] He attended school first at Lititz Elementary School and then St Andrew Tutorial College.[1] His theological training was at St Colme's (then in Kingston), from where he graduated in 1944.[2]

He served the Moravian Church in Jamaica for more than 50 years, first as a clergy man and from 1983 as a bishop.[1] He retired in 1993.[2] The congregations for which he was responsible during those years include Redeemer and New Beulah.[3]

He was married with children, one of whom is also a Moravian Church clergyman.[1]

Bishop Neil is buried at Bethabara Moravian Church (aerial view).[1]
