These four principles help us understand Anglican identity
What makes us Anglican?
We leave Lambeth with eyes opened anew to God’s world
Unlike the formal opening service at Canterbury Cathedral, with all bishops processing in convocation robes, Lambeth’s closing service was a harmony of bright, jazzy instruments.
We can learn from others’ ‘roaring lions’ as we share Christ together
“Let us not forget about our differences. Let us learn to understand our differences. It is when we understand our differences we can truly work together.”

We have not been well served by Lambeth Call on Human Dignity
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, wrote Noel Coward. Yet this surprisingly warm English summer is drawing Coward’s “Easterners” and others out as well. No siestas here as English culture is on its finest display!

Lambeth calls, a step towards shared witness
Lambeth might be like a party for Bishop Paul, with all his friends in one place. For me the experience has been closer to parent teacher interviews: meeting one new person after another.
