What is Lambeth?

The Lambeth Conference is a periodic gathering of the bishops of the Anglican Communion, convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury.  The conference is not intended to be a formal synod or legislative meeting, but brings bishops together to discuss issues of common interest,  worship, study and pray together.  This year’s conference will meet July 16-Aug. 3 in Canterbury at the University of Kent.

Lambeth Conference Prayer

Pour down on us, O God, the gifts of your Holy Spirit that those who prepare for the Lambeth Conference may  be filled with wisdom and understanding.  May they know at work within them that creative energy and vision which belong to our humanity, made in your image and redeemed by your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
