In an unprecedented change of policy, Cuban authorities have granted permission for Roman Catholic and Protestant chaplains to hold services in prisons throughout the Country. José Aurelio Paz, spokesperson for the Cuban Council of Churches said that they had held meetings with Communist Party officials responsible for religion. He explained that pastors would now be allowed to lead services, and use Bibles and hymn books in the prisons. Cuban Evangelicals are now organizing a prison chaplaincy, under the supervision of Rev. Francisco Rodés. Estimates put the Evangelical population of Cuba at 600,000 members. The Council of Churches comprises 47 denominations.
