The dates for the 2008 Lambeth Conference were officially announced by the Archbishop of Canterbury in an Advent Letter to the 38 primates around the world.

The Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams said the Conference, which meets every ten years, would take place at the University of Kent in Canterbury from 16 July to 3 August 2008.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said the Conference would be an opportunity for “individual Christian pastors to meet Jesus afresh, for our Church to be renewed in mission, for the world to hear good news”.

He stressed in the letter that a key aspect of the Conference would be the enabling for ministry: “The main focus I long to see at this Conference is the better equipping of bishops to fulfil their task as agents and enablers of mission, as co-workers with God’s mission in Jesus Christ.” Story
