The Lusitanian Catholic Apostolic Evangelical Church (Portuguese: Igreja Lusitana Católica Apostólica Evangélica) is a Christian denomination in Portugal. The denomination is a member church of the Anglican Communion.

Membership

The church has around 5,000 members.

Worship and liturgy

In the early days of the church, a translation into Portuguese from 1849 of the 1662 edition of the Book of Common Prayer was used. In 1884 the church published its own prayer book based on the Anglican prayer books, Roman Rite, and Mozarabic liturgies. The intent was to emulate the customs of the primitive apostolic church.
