[Virtue Online] 18 Apr 2008--He has every right to feel abandoned. A flicker of pain crosses his face as he talks about not being invited to Lambeth this summer by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Rt. Rev. Robinson Cavalcanti, Bishop of Recife, might justly feel rejected.The ultra-liberal Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, through its Primate, issued a series of documents, which he says contain little truth. He is further accused of being schismatic by inviting an orthodox primate of another province to provide spiritual protection for his evangelical flock.

Surprisingly, the pain and suffering has produced a depth of character that is visibly discernible. His humility in the face of opposition, is palpable. He is holding up despite the obstacles and opposition.
