This work aims at demonstrating the link between the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil and Freemasonry, especially with regard to the joint influence that these two institutions have had on the History of Education in Rio Grande do Sul, interfering markedly and acting together in the fight for secular education and for other religious denominations so that they could enter into the educational space. It is analyzed their interplay, but also their contradictions and paradoxes, presenting the point of view of the Anglican Church (unknown or almost unknown in academia) on the collisions in Education, having as essential corpus the documents of the Official Journal of the Anglican/Episcopal Church, the Christian Banner editions published between 1901 to 1970 (the year prior to Law 5692/71) that reports, pari passu, all the missionary work done by the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, even bringing the Educational Project to Rio Grande do Sul. It was performed an exhaustive and critical reading of the Christian Banner, doing a triangulation among the interviews of Masons (and not Masons), the Masonic and Anglican documents analyzed and the photos, seen as historical documents from the period (and even the ones that are not from this period, to clarify the evidence of what is to prove). The method of qualitative research was used, and the results were analyzed by Content Analysis and Discourse Analysis, opting for either when it was required, with results being presented in a descriptive way. It was concluded that the Anglican/Episcopal Church had strong links with Freemasonry (since its reformulation from Operative Masonry to Speculative Masonry, London, 1717) in Rio Grande do Sul, during the historical period of this work, and worked together in the creation and maintenance of the Parochial Schools of the Anglican Episcopal Church and also of the secular, but not atheist, schools, fighting together for a public school where there is freedom of conscience, religious freedom, co-education, access to education for everyone, endorsing new teaching methodologies and encouraging scientific research, although sometimes contradictions and paradoxes might appear during the practice to achieve these goals.
