The Bishop of Recife, the Rt. Rev. Robinson Cavalcaniti writes that reports that his diocese has voted to join the Anglican Church of North America. In a letter to The Church of England Newspaper written on Jan 22, Bishop Cavalcanti, who was wrongly identified in the accompanying photograph, stated the account presented in the Jan 23 issue of this newspaper of his diocesan convention, “Brazilian diocese links with Americans”, p 6 was an accurate account of the Dec 4-6 meeting, save for the claim that Recife joined ACNA.
“We had no debate or deliberation in the Synod of this subject,” he stated, noting however that the synod had voted to join the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans and had voted “to express solidarity with the formation of a new Anglican orthodox province in North America.”
We regret the error.
