As the Lambeth Conference ends, it remains clear a wide range of opinions exists on its impact, as well as where the Anglican Communion is headed, or where it should be headed.
The Lambeth Conference, held once every 10 years, is a gathering of the leaders of the Anglican Communion for the sake of unity and learning. Over 200 bishops frustrated with deviations from biblical teachings boycotted the conference this year.
The Rev. Edward L. Rix, rector of All Saint’s Church in Wynnewood, said he did not see any substantial conversation occur from Lambeth with the absence of so many significant voices from Africa.
“I don’t think there are substantial discussions going on about homosexuality or authority,” he said. “What is hoped is that some kind of covenant can be created. The problem is that all the instruments of accountability are without teeth. Most of us see it as not having a strong enough footing.”
