The Anglican Church in Brazil (Portuguese: Igreja Anglicana no Brasil) is an evangelical Anglican denomination in Brazil. It is not a member of the Anglican Communion but it is recognized as such by the Global Anglican Future Conference.
The church had its origin in a 2005 split in which the Diocese of Recife, led by Robinson Cavalcanti, left the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, because it had rejected the official Anglican stance on homosexuality, expressed at the Lambeth 1.10 Resolution in 1998.
The Diocese of Recife organized in the Anglican Church-Diocese of Recife and became associated to the Global South, as an extra-provincial diocese, and the Global Anglican Future Conference. At the same time they started church planting outside their territory, aiming to start a new conservative Anglican province in Brazil.
In 12 May 2018 the Anglican Church in Brazil was constituted as a province, with three dioceses, 54 communities, and Miguel Uchoa Cavalcanti as the first Archbishop and Primate.[1] It is considered by the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) to be the 41st province of the Anglican Communion, but it is not recognised as such by the Archbishop of Canterbury.[2]
Archbishop Peter Jensen argues that the division was "not over a matter of church politics or personal ambition" but was "a matter of the fundamentals of the faith, of what makes a true church, of the authority of God's word."[3]
Relation with other churches
The Anglican Church in Brazil has broken any ties with the liberal Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil. It is in full communion with all the Global South (Anglican) and the Global Anglican Future Conference provinces, including those who aren't members of the Anglican Communion, including the Anglican Church in North America. The province is also a member of the Rede Inspire (Inspire Net), an association of around 400 churches in Brazil.[4]
