[Anglican Mainstream] 20 Feb 2009--The Diocese of Recife has enjoyed continual growth since its dissociation from the Brazilian Province (IEAB-Porto Alegre), in 2005, when in the same year it was received by the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America (Buenos Aires). In 2005, the Diocesan roll registered 4,371 members; by 2008 the figure stood at 6,033.

The number of confirmed members actively involved in church life more than doubled, increasing from 1,488 in 2005 to 3,278 in 2008, not including the 511 members of the Archdeanery in the United States, provisionally affiliated to the Diocese of Recife pending the structuring of the new orthodox Anglican Church in North America.
