Anglican Church in Brazil: Difference between revisions

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]] 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 and the Anglican Communion|homosexuality]], expressed at the Lambeth 1.10 Resolution in 1998.

 

 

Archbishop [[Peter Jensen (bishop)|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."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jensen |first1=Peter |authorlink1=Peter Jensen (bishop) |title=The Anglican Church in Brazil and the Anglican Communion |url=https://www.gafcon.org/news/the-anglican-church-in-brazil-and-the-anglican-communion |publisher=[[GAFCON]] |accessdate=6 October 2019 |date=25 May 2018}}</ref>
