 | | The fifth Lambeth conference, following as it did close on the great Pan-Anglican congress, is remarkable mainly as a proof of the growth of the influence and many-sided activity of the Anglican Church, and as a conspicuous manifestation of her characteristic principles. | | | A notable feature of the conference was the presence of the Swedish bishop of Kalmar, who presented a letter from the archbishop of Upsala, as a tentative advance towards closer relations between the Anglican Church and the Evangelical Church of Sweden. | | | The archbishop opened the conference with an address: deliberation followed; committees were appointed to report on special questions; resolutions were adopted, and an encyclical letter was addressed to the, faithful of the Anglican Communion. |

| | On Lambeth |
| | Most of you know that the Lambeth Conferences are gatherings of the bishops of the Anglican Communion summoned by the Archbishop of Canterbury every ten years since the 1860s. | | | Those who were eyewitnesses and participants of the Lambeth Conference have been encouraged to share their impressions of the event in their home communities and so I shall do so this evening in place of the homily. | | | But the main shock of this Lambeth Conference was the discovery that Anglicans are going to find it difficult to pretend that from now on we have a common theological method to arrive at truth together. |

| | The Conference affirms (a) the duty of parenthood as the glory of married life; (b) the benefit of a family as a joy in itself, as a vital contribution to the nation’s welfare, and as a means of characterbuilding for both parents and children; (c) the privilege of discipline and sacrifice to this end. | | | The Conference affirms its opinion that the theological arguments as at present presented for and against the ordination of women to the priesthood are inconclusive. | | | The Conference values the initiative shown by young people in witnessing to their faith in Christ; and urges that they should be encouraged to do this in their own way and through their own media, and that the Church should have regard to their concern for the renewal of society and of the Church. |

| | Lambeth Conference |
| | Certainly, "the church is never the same after a Lambeth Conference," observed Bishop Mark Dyer, retired bishop of the Diocese of Bethlehem and a professor of theology at Virginia Theological Seminary. | | | Plenary sessions at the beginning and end of the conference will highlight scripture's essential role in shaping the life of the church, and scripture will be key element in a third plenary on approaches to living a moral life. | | | At the 1988 conference, even in the midst of diverging and conflicting opinions, the Bible studies offered a place where participants "could feel at home and have their say," observed Bishop Simon Barrington-Ward, retired bishop of Coventry who is coordinating the studies. |

| | Anglicans Online!: Lambeth: All About Lambeth 1998 |
| | Within this definition of faith are three pillars: the uniqueness and sufficiency of the Bible, the authority of the early Church in understanding the Bible, and the value of continued to study of the Bible for new insights in each generation. | | | There were 76 bishops at this first Lambeth Conference; over 700 bishops will be coming to the 1998 conference, up from approximately 500 in 1988. | | | He is the focal point of the Lambeth Conference which, in turn, is defined by the bishops who attend. |

| | The Anglican Communion |
| | Archbishop Longley, from his report to Convocation concerning the proposed first Lambeth Conference (1867): "It should be distinctly understood that at this meeting no declaration of faith shall be made, and no decision come to that shall affect generally the interests of the Church, but that we shall meet together for brotherly counsel and encouragement.... | | | Only 76 bishops attended the first Lambeth Conference; and when a second conference was called for 1878, 108 of the 173 bishops to whom invitations were sent accepted. | | | The Colenso case was one of the factors that led Archbishop Longley of Canterbury to agree to hold a conference of all Anglican bishops throughout the world on the understanding that the decisions of the conference would have no authority and the conference no jurisdiction over the churches represented. |

| | The Lambeth Conference: Not Easy to Comprehend |
| | Many bishops felt that it is not in the plenaries that the real work of the Lambeth Conference is done, in the sense of creating and strengthening understanding between bishops from all parts of the world and widely differing cultures. | | | Of course, given that Lambeth has no legislative power, this is merely a recommendation, not a command, and bishops so minded will no doubt continue ordaining non-celibate gays and lesbians to the priesthood and permitting the blessing of committed same-gender relationships, despite the resolution "advising" them not to. | | | The vast majority of bishops at Lambeth 1998 came down decisively for the "traditional" teaching on sex, sharpening up an already conservative resolution to make explicit their rejection of homosexual activity as something incompatible with the Gospel. |

| | TaskForce |
| | The Lambeth bishops voting for the Resolution failed to acknowledge or recognize the experiences of God's grace in the lives of gay and lesbian Anglicans and their rich contributions to the life of the church. | | | The 1998 Lambeth conference's resolution declaring that homosexuality is "incompatible with Scripture" almost certainly does not represent the last word on the subject by the bishops at Lambeth. | | | At the first Lambeth conference in 1867, the bishops considered the issues around Bishop Colenso of Natal, who had scandalized many conservatives by raising questions about the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. |

| | BEFORE AND AFTER |
| | The first Lambeth Conference was meant (by the Canadian Bishops who asked for it) to be a body to resolve doctrinal questions. | | | Though there were only eleven women ordained as bishops in a conference of around 800, one of the eleven had to be given a prominent role in the opening eucharist in Canterbury. | | | This has been commanded to the entire Communion now, and those parts of the church which try to force people into toeing a 'modernist' line are shown to be quite out of step with mainstream Anglicanism. |

| | SYNOD INSIDER |
| | It must have come as a shock to those who have fondly imagined that their views were consensus Anglicanism, to discover that in a world context it is they (rather than the conservatives) who are out on a limb. | | | Ever since Lambeth conferences began, it has been assumed that white caucasian bishops would form the majority consensus view. | | | We won't hear much from the third world dioceses who have their hands full planting new churches, discipling new converts, trying to find the means to train new clergy and trying to stretch their shoe string finances to do everything else as well. |

| | Thinking Anglicans: Views on the ACC |
| | Lambeth Conferences of bishops are attended by invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury; Primates call themselves together; but the Anglican Consultative Council has a constitution, and exists by the will of the whole of Anglicanism. | | | It beggars belief that the Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Church in the United States — two of the three prime architects of gatherings and fellowship in the Communion —should be invited to depart or should themselves consider it; or that others of the original member provinces should concur. | | | …It cannot, any more than Lambeth Conferences or Meetings of Primates, legislate for the Anglican Communion, but, because it consists of bishops, clergy and laity, duly appointed by their national synods, it does represent the whole weight of the whole body of Anglicanism. |

| | The Tenth Sunday after Pentecost |
| | In 1998, there were almost 900 bishops at the Lambeth Conference, which I take as an encouraging sign. | | | I discovered two things at Lambeth: one was that we can help, and the second, was that God takes our little bit of faith and makes us some miracles. | | | People of the church, gathering to worship, pray, and talk about where we are going as a church. |

| | Archbishop of Canterbury Sermons and Speeches |
| | We also re-affirm the resolutions made by the bishops of the Anglican Communion gathered at the Lambeth Conference in 1998 on issues of human sexuality as having moral force and commanding the respect of the Communion as its present position on these issues. | | | Whilst we acknowledge a legitimate diversity of interpretation that arises in the Church, this diversity does not mean that some of us take the authority of Scripture more lightly than others. | | | As Primates of our Communion seeking to exercise the “enhanced responsibility” entrusted to us by successive Lambeth Conferences, we re-affirm our common understanding of the centrality and authority of Scripture in determining the basis of our faith. |

| | VirtueOnline - News - Windsor 2004: Foreword by Archbishop Robin Eames |
| | During its work the Lambeth Commission has recognised the existence within the Anglican Communion of a large constituency of faithful members who are bemused and bewildered by the intensity of the opposing views on issues of sexuality. | | | Questions have been raised about the nature of authority in the Anglican Communion, the inter-relationship of the traditional Instruments of Unity, the ways in which Holy Scripture is interpreted by Anglicans, the priorities of the historic autonomy enshrined in Anglican provinces, and there are also issues of justice. | | | What do we believe is the will of God for the Anglican Communion? |

| | Anglican Journal -- Two Lambeth books — one official, one not — should be read together |
| | But even a major achievement of Lambeth, the call for debt-forgiveness for Third World countries, may have been tainted: the book reports the suggestion that some bishops from developing countries supported anti-homosexual conservatives of the First World in exchange for backing of the debt-forgiveness initiative. | | | It brings together a comprehensive picture of where the Anglican Communion is now on issues of church, state, peace, interfaith relations, justice, faith and unity, and myriad other issues, and where it wants to go in the future. | | | It describes many moving moments when politics disappeared and the conference really seemed to come together, especially the powerful spiritual force of the daily Bible study. |

| | The issue was addressed in the last three Lambeth Conferences, but at the Conference of 1998 this was done with some urgency. | | | When the Anglican Church met for Lambeth Conferences in 1978, 1988 and 1998, the issues were on the agenda. | | | OVER the last three decades or more, the Anglican Church throughout the world has been wrestling with the issues of human sexuality. |

| | Report on the Lambeth Task Force |
| | The members of the Task Force began with the premise that all persons "are loved by God and that all baptized, believing and faithful persons, regardless of sexual orientation, are full members of the Body of Christ." The Lambeth bishops also upheld this. | | | The Task Force looked at the authority of Scripture, the conflicting messages within Scripture, the roles of Bishops, the authority of Lambeth Conferences, the findings of Science and the experiences of this diocese. | | | Nor did they recognize the experiences of God's grace in the lives of gay and lesbian Anglicans and their rich contributions to the life of the church. |
