Important Meetings Begin in Chicago and London

The future of the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church’s place within it may become a little clearer following important meetings which began today in Chicago and London.


An ad hoc group of bishops from the Episcopal Church are meeting in Chicago from Dec. 6 to 8. The meeting is expected to continue conversation which began among 19 invited bishops from across the theological spectrum who reported “frank, respectful” discussion “on a variety of issues that have caused pain and dissension within the Episcopal Church” at the conclusion of a July 18-21 meeting in Los Angeles. Information on the bishops attending the meeting in Chicago was not available at press time.

In London, the Lambeth design group, a group of eight primates, bishops and lay people from across the Anglican Communion, met today to develop an invitation list and an agenda for the 2008 Lambeth Conference of Bishops.
