The most recent Lambeth Conference (1988)

Every ten years, the bishops of the Anglican Communion attend a worldwide conference, known as the Lambeth Conference. An event unrivalled in the Anglican experience, the next meeting of Lambeth will be in 1998. This website, a service of the Anglicans Online! website, serves to offer some background information on Lambeth and its role within the Anglican communion.

Welcome!

You have made your way to the unofficial website of the Lambeth 1998 conference. (Although the text and photographs contained herein are taken directly from official documents published by the Anglican communion office, the site's navigation structure and design can be blamed on me. {grin} )

You may want to start by reading a letter from George Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Also available is background about Archbishop Carey's role at Lambeth.

Then, why not read The Lambeth Story -- sort of a "beginners' guide" to Lambeth. There, you'll find out about how Lambeth started, what its role is, and general information about the Anglican communion as a whole.

You'll see a lot of references to Canturbury, the London home of the Anglican communion. Here's some brief background on Canturbury.

But if you want to jump right to the meat, please check out all about preparations for Lambeth 1998 and the financial picture. As well, you can read about the Secretary General, who puts it all together.

Finally, please drop by the links page to find your way to other resources which may be helpful in learning about the Anglican communion.

I hope you enjoy the site!

This web site is maintained privately. Though not an official organ of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Church of England, the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A., or any church body, it does offer links to official news releases and other documents such as Constitutions and Canons, links to official parish/diocesan pages, and other such documents.
