[The Church of England Newspaper] September 16, 2005--Thirty-seven evangelical clergy who have been excommunicated in Brazil received support this week from the Church of England Evangelical Council. A statement from the English body called on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Panel of Reference to investigate the situation “as a matter of urgency.” The row in Brazil centres on the Bishop of the Diocese of Recife, which is a largely evangelical diocese in a Province that is largely liberal. The Primate of Brazil, Archbishop Orlando de Oliveira, deposed the bishop, the Rt Rev Robinson Cavalcanti, and his clergy in a battle that followed actions by the Episcopal Church of the USA and the Church of Canada in ordaining homosexuals and authorising same-sex blessings.
