ABOUT THE EPISCOPAL ANGLICAN CHURCH OF BRAZIL (IEAB)
IEAB (Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil) is the oldest non-roman catholic church in Brazil, because the Anglican Church arrived and stablished since the economical relationships between Brazil and the British Empire. It was the Episcopal Church of USA that brought this tradition as a mission for Brazil. As it enlarged in numbers and territory, since 1965 the IEAB is independent from TEC and the 19th province of the Anglican Communion.
IEAB ordains women since 1985. It preaches a social gospel, being known for its commitment to fight against problems that affect vast portions of the Brazilian society, such as social inequality, land concentration, domestic violence, racism, homophobia and xenophobia. The current primate is Francisco de Assis da Silva.
