Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil - Bishop Primate

Bishop Primate

Originally under the metropolitcal supervision of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil became an independent province in 1965 and consists of a single metropolitical province, so that one bishop serves as both Metropolitan and Primate. In this role he uses the style of "The Most Reverend", but does not have the usual title of "Archbishop", being known by the alternative title of "Bishop Primate" (Bispo Primaz). The Bishops Primate have been:

• The Most Revd Egmont Machado Krischke, 1965–1971
• The Most Revd Arthur Rodolpho Kratz, 1972–1984
• The Most Revd Olavo Ventura Luiz, 1986–1992
• The Most Revd Glauco Soares de Lima, 1993–2003
• The Most Revd Orlando Santos de Oliveira, 2003–2006
• The Most Revd Maurício José Araújo de Andrade, 2006–present
