TLC: ACC Solicits Funds to Underwrite Lambeth Attendance
10/12/2007

With the start of the Lambeth Conference just eight months away, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) recently announced plans to raise $4.2 million through a fundraising appeal. The donations are intended “to enable all those who wish to attend the conference to do so,” according to a recent press release announcing the appeal.

“Bursaries enable bishops and bishop’s spouses to attend the Lambeth Conference as well as helping fund those attending who will help ensure the smooth running of both the Lambeth Conference and the spouses' conference when it meets in Canterbury next July.”

The ACC has maintained a bursary fund to provide assistance with travel and conference expenses at previous Lambeth Conferences. Appeals for contributions to the bursary fund at those Lambeth Conferences began much earlier than the current one, however.
