The '''Anglican Church in Brazil''' ({{lang-pt|Igreja Anglicana no Brasil}}) is an [[evangelical Anglican]] denomination in [[Brazil]]. It is not a member of the [[Anglican Communion]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Anglican Communion: Member Churches |url=https://www.anglicancommunion.org/structures/member-churches.aspx |website=Anglican Communion Website |access-date=15 May 2021 |language=en}}</ref> but is in
==History==
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 and the Anglican Communion|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 (Anglican)|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]]. ▼

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]], like 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]].<ref>[https://www.anglicananobrasil.com/on/quem-somos/ Igreja Anglicana no Brasil Quem Somos, Anglican Church in Brazil Official Website (Portuguese)]</ref>▼
