One year on from the launch of the Communion Forest, Lambeth Conference discussions will explore the Lambeth Call on the Environment and Sustainable Development
Anglicans around the world are invited to engage with some of the same issues that more than 650 Anglican bishops contemplated and discussed with each other at last year’s Lambeth Conference, starting with the theme of discipleship, as Phase 3 materials are released
“At Lambeth we were encouraged to ‘be curious’ by listening to others’ stories and seeing the world through their eyes. We were encouraged to ‘be present’ by encountering others with authenticity and confidence. And, we were encouraged to ‘reimagine’ by finding hope and opportunity in the places where we long to see change. I was impressed by how these values seemed to buoy the conference,” says Bishop John Roundhill
“I left the UK in August with a renewed hope for the future of the Anglican Communion, and for the future of our Diocesan community. Reassuringly, most of the conference’s 10 Calls resonate with existing areas of focus and ministry in our Diocese,” says Bishop Cam Venables
“God calls us to respect one another. This, in part at least, involves respecting people’s territories, traditions and protocols; seeking counsel and consent; and, caring for one another. Respect is also about being welcoming and inclusive. When respect is fostered, harmony presides. When respect is denied, harm is caused,” says Aunty Dr Rose Elu in her Lambeth Conference Anglican Indigenous Network address
