The Anglican Mission Comments on the 2008 Lambeth Conference Invitations
Anglican Mission in America
Rt. Rev. Charles H Murphy, III
05/25/2007

In response to the decisions by the Archbishop of Canterbury regarding invitations to the 2008 Lambeth Conference, the Rt. Rev. Charles H. Murphy, III, Chairman of the AMiA, in consultation with the Most Rev. Emmanuel Kolini, Primate of the Province of Rwanda, issues the following statement.

The Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, announced this week that invitations to the 2008 Lambeth Conference have been issued to over 800 bishops in the Communion, including all but one of the bishops in The Episcopal Church (TEC). I believe that this action and decision by Archbishop Williams indicates an intentional distancing of himself from the Primates’ Godly counsel which they have repeatedly stated in their gatherings and in their Communiqués. For example:

The emergency meeting of Primates at Lambeth in October 2003 calling TEC to repentance.
