"Five Anglican clergy in the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil (IEAB) including the Dean of the Cathedral in Sao Paulo, have been formally excommunicated by the ultra-liberal Brazilian Anglican province.
In a letter to VOL, Bishop Miguel Uchoa, Bishop of the separated Diocese of Recife, said they were suspended for schismatic behavior that amounted to abandonment of communion, but not defrocked. "It is all about power," he told VOL. "Naturally it is a futile gesture, even if liberal on liberal."
The Episcopal Church backed liberal Episcopal Brazilian province cited the constitutional sections of their canons and said the priests were now suspended from the ordained ministry of the church. One of the suspensions is the Dean of the cathedral in Sao Paulo."
