"These essays repay reading by anyone concerned for the Church and its ministry in modern Western culture. Their focus is a perceived crisis of identity facing American Roman Catholic priests. Their relevance is far wider, however, asking the basic question: `What does it mean to be a presbyter among all the disciples of Jesus Christ'?"

"The writers of these Lambeth Essays were invited to extend the work of the Lambeth Conference 2008: to take the themes of the Conference into every corner of the Anglican Communion and to make the themes accessible for grassroots conversation and reflection. So, we have theological reflections from a few of the Anglican scholars and leaders who attended the 2008 conference. .... The writers come from across the landscape of Anglicanism and from a wide spectrum of theological perspectives. We sought in our writers a cross-section and a culturally diverse swath of our Communion -- for we are many voices with many viewpoints. .... The study questions at the end of the book will help all who read this book to go deeper and to live with the themes of Lambeth 2008. The themes of Lambeth 2008 are our themes, and this book brings them to us". -- Editor's Preface.

Five Anglican contributors are: Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan (Anglican Church of Canada), Rt. Rev. John Hind (Church of England), Rt. Rev. Tilewa Johnson (Church of the Province of West Africa), Archdeacon Joseph Sarvananthan (Church of Ceylon) and the Rev. Dr. Richard Treloar (Anglican Church of Australia).
Bishop Hind, of the Diocese of Europe, offers a short reflection on the fact that Christmas this year marks "the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ, and [when] the whole world enters a new millennium" and comments on the fact that most of the world today follows a calendar based on the Christian religion.
