An anniversary message from the Archbishop Primus

The Most Reverend Ricardo Lorite de Lima at a gathering with members of the community.

2 November 1897 – 2 November 2026

129th Anniversary of the Free Protestant Episcopal Church of England

A history of faith, freedom and commitment to the Gospel.

To celebrate 129 years is not merely to remember a historic date. It is to reaffirm a commitment: to preserve our identity, honour our history, strengthen our Worldwide Communion and continue proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ with freedom, dignity, love and responsibility.

The Most Reverend Ricardo Lorite de Lima
Archbishop Primus
