Of 2008 Lambeth Conference and the Conscience of Bishops.

[Anglican Mainstream] 23 May 2008--A lot has been said about the crisis that has rocked the Anglican Communion in the past few years, as especially aggravated by the election and consecration of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire. Unfortunately despite many committees and design groups the Anglican Communion has not managed to resolve the crisis yet.

This has come to its height this year being the year of the 10-yearly Lambeth Conference of Anglican Bishops and their spouse. The question that has dominated the space in recent times is who and who is attending and who is not attending Lambeth. Even though Lambeth is now just a few weeks away, the question is still being asked. But it is important to stress that attending Lambeth is not an indication of commitment to the Anglican Communion while it is not a sign of less commitment on the part of those who might choose not to attend. In fact, attendance or otherwise at Lambeth Conference might no longer sustain the argument of commitment to the Communion, not least when those who attended and participated in the Conference were also the same people who undermined it and ignored its resolutions as if they do not matter. As a matter of fact, it has almost become a matter of choice as to which resolution one should obey and which one to disregard. This only further undermines the essence of the conference as a whole. Notwithstanding how much it is stressed that Lambeth Conference is not a legislative body, this would seem to be the importance of Lambeth—a place of meeting and fellowship, to discuss relevant issues in the Communion and to jointly agree on some line of action.
