History
Anglican ministry in Brazil began as a number of chaplaincies catering for expatriate Anglicans in 1810. The first known parish was settled in Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais in 1834, St. John the Baptist . In 1889, when Brazil formalised the separation of church and state in its constitution, the Anglican chaplaincies began missionary work.
In 1893, the provincial newsletter Estandarte Cristão was first published. To this day it helps keep the widely spread Anglican congregations in touch with each other.
In 1965, the province, which had been under the metropolitan supervision of the Archbishop of Canterbury became autonomous.
