- Notes
- "Archbishop Francisco de Assis da Silva, primate of the Episcopal Anglican Church in Brazil and bishop of South-Western Brazil, visited Canada in October [2014] to speak to the synod of the diocese of Ontario about the church's role in transforming the world. Da Silva has a number of connections to the diocese of Ontario. Not only was his home diocese of South-Western Brazil a companion diocese with Ontario during the time of his predecessor, he is also a friend of Ontario's Bishop Michael Oulton, whom he met at the Canterbury course for new bishops. 'Despite not having a formal companionship agreement', da Silva said, 'we are very, very close dioceses'." "Transforming the world is a key part of the church's mission. 'Every community in our church is challenged to have a clear kind of interaction with the social context'."
