[Anglican Mainstream] 22 Jan 2008--‘Changing Attitude wants the Lambeth Conference to take place because it represents the best hope for a change of attitude for the majority of the communion and because it provides an opportunity to effect change. We will be working for radical change with our friends in Integrity and Inclusive Church. We may not achieve change, but we’ll be working hard for it. We believe change is possible and practical because we are people rooted in God and prayer. If we were as the conservatives try to portray us, as barely Christian, then our faith might be misplaced. But we are people as faithful in prayer and as rooted in God as the conservatives. If change occurs it will happen because there is something godly in what we believe and who we are …

A tactic that brings the majority of bishops to Canterbury in July is advantageous for us. It gives us access to bishops and to the world’s media. It gives us a further opportunity to tell our stories, educate bishops and change attitudes.’
