The 20s and 30s of
St. Mary’s invite ALL members of the parish for a Lambeth Conference Bible Study!
What is the Lambeth Conference?: The Lambeth Conference is one of the global Anglican
Communion's Instruments of Communion. It takes place every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is the one occasion when all bishops can meet for worship, study and conversation. Archbishops, diocesan, assistant and
suffragan bishops are invited. Also invited are bishops from other churches 'in communion' with the Anglican Communion, bishops
from United Churches and a number of ecumenical guests. This year’s meeting takes place in England from July 16-August
4, 2008.
What is the Lambeth Conference Bible study?: This special series - focusing on St John’s
Gospel - complements the Bible studies in which the bishops and their spouses will take part during the Lambeth Conference
2008. We hope that people throughout the Anglican Communion will use this series as a way of being present in spirit at the
Lambeth Conference, supporting their bishops before, during and after this important gathering. You can find a copy of the
study either on-line at http://www.lambethconference.org/lc2008/resources/index.cfm or a printed copy in the parish hall.
