Thank God for the Living Water Mission. This experience set the tone for the whole visit. None of the guests really knew very much about the Episcopal Church of Brazil, but we soon learnt that, tiny as it may be, it has a giant s ministry. And we met leaders of other churches and of civic society who were glad to be working with Anglicans. Of course the Brazilian Church has its problems.
Brazil is enormous, and the church is tiny.
Its resources are stretched to breaking point, and it is hard to develop a sense of provincial identity .
