Brotherhood of the Epiphany

Brotherhood of the Epiphany

The Brotherhood of the Epiphany (BE), also known as St. Paul's Brotherhood, is an Anglican religious order based in Barisal, Bangladesh. Founded in 1879 by priests associated with the Oxford Mission, the order was originally based in Calcutta, and later expanded to include houses in other parts of northern India and present-day Bangladesh. With the closure of the Indian houses, jurisdiction has been transferred from the Church of North India to the Church of Bangladesh. It oversees boarding schools, Christian youth hostels, a medical centre, an orphanage, and a primary school.
