Sat 08 Aug 2008Lambeth Conference to end with conciliatory statement
A CONCILIATORY statement is expected at the end of the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, which concludes tomorrow evening.
Sources indicate the statement will be open and will demonstrate a willingness to embrace those approximately 250 Anglican bishops who stayed away from Lambeth 2008. They did so in protest at how decisions by North American provinces to consecrate a gay bishop and institute same-sex blessings have been dealt with to date.
