The 15th Lambeth Conference, entitled <\/span>God\u2019s church for God\u2019s world<\/span><\/i>, drew to a close on August 7th with the celebration of the Eucharist at Canterbury Cathedral. The conference drew approximately 650 Anglican bishops representing 165 countries.\u00a0 Something like a mini-Ecumenical Council or a Synod — both of which it is not — The Lambeth Conference is a once-a-decade meeting of bishops currently serving with jurisdiction in the Anglican Communion and is chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Like many things Anglican, the conference is an evolving entity being a fairly recent development.\u00a0 The idea of an international gathering of Anglican bishops was first suggested by Bishop John Henry Hopkins of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont in 1851.\u00a0 But the first conference took place in 1867 at the behest of Anglican bishops in Canada.\u00a0 Then, like now, the authority of the Lambeth Conference to \u201cspeak the mind of the Communion\u201d was debated.\u00a0 The first conference was boycotted by the Archbishop of York and most of his province.\u00a0 This year the conference was boycotted by the churches of Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The conference was slated to take place in 2018 but postponed over issues of homosexuality and same-sex marriage within member churches of the Communion – and then again because of the the Covid-19 pandemic.\u00a0 Currently, just a <\/span>handful of the 46 national churches in the Communion allow same-sex marriages, and out (let alone, married\/partnered) LGBT+ clergy.\u00a0 The topic was set to derail the Conference again this year when just before the arrival of the bishops in Canterbury it was unexpectedly announced that there would be a vote on affirming Lambeth Resolution 1.10.\u00a0 The (in)famous resolution from the Lambeth Conference held in 1998 states that it is the mind of the Communion that homosexual relationships and same-sex marriage are unbiblical.\u00a0 Archbishop Justin Welby and his organisers quickly reworded this year’s \u201cCall\u201d (read, resolution) on <\/span>Human Dignity<\/span><\/i> so it was no longer a blanket re-affirmation of Lambeth 1.10.\u00a0 They also added the option for bishops to vote against the so-called \u201cCalls\u201d altogether. In an effort to control debate a negative response to the various \u201cCalls\u201d (read, resolutions) was not originally included as a choice for the bishops.\u00a0 In the end it seems that equipment failure meant that none of the \u201cCalls\u201d were voted upon by the bishops en masse<\/em> during the length of the conference — perhaps the work of the Spirit.\u00a0 On this front it seems that Welby did indeed thread the needle. In various remarks he affirmed as a matter of fact that the majority of the bishops in the Anglican Communion do not agree with changing teaching regarding traditional marriage, but that those national churches that have, have done so in good faith, with deep scriptural reasoning, loving Christ.\u00a0 No consensus – but no schism. Not this time at least. And in the Anglican world, this is a win.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, reports are that the bishops\u2019 official discussions regarding human sexuality lasted just over an hour – a mere fraction of the almost two weeks they were gathered. And good news that, as other more notable developments were happening on the ecclesiological front:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is now clear that most disagreements in the Anglican Communion are due to the way member churches read the Bible.\u00a0 The vast majority of Anglicans in the Communion are biblical fundamentalist.\u00a0 The Anglican South often sees contemporary biblical hermeneutics as a form of neo-colonialism — a mentally euro-centric, academic, perhaps even unfaithful, northern hemisphere dictating how the Bible should be read in other cultures.\u00a0 There seems ample need for discussions among Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and Anglicans around the English theologian Richard Hooker\u2019s assertion that Scripture, Tradition, and Reason form a dialectical source of authority.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In the course of the conference the Archbishop of Canterbury stated, \u201cI neither have, nor do I seek, the authority to discipline or exclude a church of the Anglican Communion. I will not do so.\u201d\u00a0 So no Anglican Pope.\u00a0 Some Global South bishops had been requesting personal interventions by the Archbishops of Canterbury within member churches for years. But Welby\u2019s negation is problematic given that the Archbishop of Canterbury has traditionally decided which churches are \u201cauthentically\u201d Anglican when issuing invitations to the Lambeth Conference. For example, breakaway traditionalist North American bishops are not invited to the Lambeth Conference as participants (though this year they were offered observer status).\u00a0 Welby also chose not to issue invitations to the spouses of lesbian and gay bishops.\u00a0 So the Archbishop does exercise some communion-shaping authority, whether he wants to admit it or not.\u00a0 Subsequently, some Global South bishops have taken Welby\u2019s demur to be an invitation to assume a type of global synodal power in an attempt to define binding Anglican doctrine in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Perhaps the most poignant interventions at the Lambeth Conference came from <\/span>Archbishop Nikitas<\/span><\/a> (the head of the Greek Orthodox Church in Great Britain), <\/span>Cardinal Tagle<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Cardinal Koch<\/span><\/a> (represented by Rev. Anthony Currer).\u00a0 Koch offered a masterful investigation of the quest for ecclesial unity suggesting that our churches are now living in an \u201cecumenical emergency\u201d.\u00a0 His paper explored what unity and \u2018reconciled diversity\u2019 among churches actually means.\u00a0 One of the angles of inquiry questions how intra-church approaches to theological divergence are read onto the ecumenical movement; can diversity <\/span>within<\/span><\/i> churches fulfill Christ\u2019s prayer that \u201call may be one\u201d <\/span>among<\/span><\/i> churches? This is a question that touches directly upon the situation of the Church of England and its <\/span>current discussions<\/span><\/a> regarding human sexuality, and the relationships between national churches that make up the Anglican Communion.\u00a0 Take away quotes from the presentation include: \u201cWe need a common vision, because we shall grow further apart, if we do not have a common goal.\u201d \u201cWe agree we want unity. But we do not agree on what kind.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Few events from the Lambeth Conference touched directly upon the liturgy — Except the refusal of some bishops from the Global South to receive communion at the same Eucharist in which lesbian and gay bishops, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming national churches, participated.\u00a0 Yet I find the selected issues I have noted above involving ecclesiology and ecumenism to be significant for the PrayTell community.\u00a0 It seems to me that a number points raised during the Lambeth Conference can provide both Anglicans and the wider Church much to reflect upon as liturgists, theologians, pastors, and practitioners preparing for next year\u2019s <\/span>Societas Liturgica<\/span><\/i><\/a> to be held in Maynooth, Ireland.\u00a0 Just maybe, we can hope, our churches joined together in worship, prayer, and study, will have something new to offer to the Church universal regarding the ecumenical emergency at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
