Shock at Death of Brazilian Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti

5th March 2012
Brazil, PRAY

It is with great shock and sadness that we heard the news this morning of the death of Bishop and Mrs Cavalcanti. Bishop Robinson was a fearless defender of the faith and had a heart for the poor and the disadvantaged. His wife Miriam was a great support at all times and they were known for their hospitality. The Diocese experienced significant growth in Bishop Robinson’s episcopate and recently elected two Suffragan Bishops who have yet to be consecrated.

The Diocese of Recife reported that Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti and his wife were murdered in their home in Olinda in Northeastern Brazil. Mirian Cavalcanti, the bishop’s wife, attempted to intercede and was stabbed also. The two died at the scene.

Pray for the family at this time.

Dear friends,

The holidays are nearly over. We’ve had a good time getting all the jobs done around the house – just that the list was longer than the holiday!!! We had a great time in Brazil enjoying long walks on the beach, going in the sea and even a trip on a Pirate boat!!

It has been amazing to see the new rooms being built at the Annexe. The men have worked non-stop in temps over 40ºC to finish ahead of schedule. The building looks really good and it is very exciting that it has been done in time for their 40th Anniversary. We are very grateful to the church in Hartford for making it possible.

God Bless,
Lots of love,
Gwen and Mags xx
