Representatives of some of the Anglican Lusophone churches gathered last month in Brazil to strengthen the bonds of the Portuguese speaking churches in Brazil, Africa and Europe. Meeting from 26-28 Feb 2015 in Recife, representatives of the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, the Anglican Church in Southern Africa’s Dioceses of Angola, Lebombo and Niassa and the Lusitanian Church in Portugal endorsed a declaration seeking closer relations between the dioceses and to create a “Lusophone Network of Anglican Communion” to coordinate mission, evangelism and church education.
