Mary Frances Schjonberg+ reported in the July issue of Episcopal News Monthly,
House of Deputies President Bonnie Anderson helped the Igreja Episcopal Anlicana do Brasil bring its historic 31st General Synod to a close June 6 by preaching at the final Eucharist. "I am reminded of the long and strong relationship between the Episcopal Church in Brazil and the Episcopal Church....I give great thanks for that relationship. Your prophetic witness to justice, your creative and inspired worship, music and song [are] an inspiration to us."
During its final session, the synod voted by acclamation to tell the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada that the IEAB supports their full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people in the church's life.
"The love of God has no boundaries," Brazilian Archbishop Mauricio Jose Araujo Andrade said to loud applause.
