Archbishop [automatically, by reflex]: And also with you. [Recovering] But—but why are you here, and now? And why are you in those terrible chains?<\/p>\n
Ghost: I am the Ghost of Lambeth Past, and I am doing penance for my pride. I have come to show you how you are about to repeat the terrible mistake we made at the First Lambeth Conference.<\/p>\n
Archbishop: Mistake? What mistake? I thought the first Lambeth Conference was a model for all the rest. There was restraint, the bishops agreed in advance—<\/p>\n
Ghost [interrupting]: Not to call a Church council, and pass canons binding on us all? Oh, yes, we agreed to that, all right.<\/p>\n
Archbishop: Then what is this “terrible mistake” to which you refer?<\/p>\n
Ghost: The affair with Bishop Colenso of South Africa—you must surely know.<\/p>\n
Archbishop: Bishop Colenso? But wasn’t he deposed by the Church of the Province of South Africa for going against the teachings of the Church? And as a result, not invited to your First Lambeth Conference?<\/p>\n
Ghost: You are correct….<\/p>\n
