"The idea of this book came late. It was July 2nd. The Lambeth Conference would begin on July 25th. .... If only, I thought, each bishop at Lambeth could be asked to say what he thinks are the best things the Church is doing in his diocese -- not only, of course, within the structures of the Church -- that could be marvellous." -- Preface.
"This is not a book about the Lambeth Conference. It was, however, made during the Conference because here, for a month, were gathered together -- perhaps it was rumoured, for the last time -- nearly five hundred bishops from different parts of the Anglican Communion. This seemed a marvellous opportunity to find out from the bishops what was happening in the Church, an opportunity to ask them questions about the kind of contribution which the Church could make in a world where many are searching for meaning and depth in their lives .... Here also was an opportunity for the bishops to speak about their own beliefs and convictions to those who feel that 'it is time to build a new world'." .... "In order to produce a book of this kind, I interviewed the bishops during the lunch-break and after the afternoon sessions of the Lambeth Conference, with a tape recorder there." .... "In spite of the obvious difficulties of getting hold of them during such a busy time, we were able to interview about a hundred and fifty bishops, representing the main areas where the Anglican Church is working. Then, having assembled the transcripts of these interviews, in the form of question and answer, I chose sixty and edited into a consecutive prose passage the 'heart' of what each bishop spoke about." -- Intro.
Contains 53 interviews chapters with bishops from around the Communion. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the diocese and the bishop being interviewed.

"The following pages contain what I sincerely hope is a fair account of the Anglican Congress of 1963. In addition to the sermons and formal addresses, reproduced in as accurate and definitive a form as time and circumstances permit. I have included both the group 'findings' as officially reported to the full Congress and a wide selection of informal speeches and comments made in the plenary sessions or sent in from the groups. I have also attempted a brief preliminary interpretation of the Congress as I saw it and felt its impact. It was the express wish of the Editorial Committee that the record of the Toronto Congress should include these elements of personal reporting and commentary and I have tried to carry out my assignment without worrying unduly about the criticisms that such an impressionistic account must necessarily invite". -- Preface, p. xv.

"In recent years with the accelerated growth of the Anglican Communion and the rapid establishment of new dioceses and missionary areas, the problems confronting the Church have likewise increased. It became clear to many that intervals of ten years or more between Lambeth Conferences gave the Churches insufficient opportunity to take common counsel in the face of the rapidly changing problems of the modern age. Moreover, since in our national Churches the priests and members of the laity share with the bishops the responsibility of decision in matters affecting our welfare, it was inevitable that there should come about a recognition that the clerical and lay representatives should share with the bishops the responsibilities of international gatherings. The Lambeth Conference of 1948 welcomed the suggestion 'that a Congress representative of the Anglican Communion be held'. No such comparable gathering had taken place since the Pan-Anglican Congress held in London in 1908, and accordingly the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1949 extended an invitation for such a Congress to meet in the United States. The offer of hospitality graciously extended by the Bishop and the Diocese of Minnesota was accepted. Invited to the Congress were the bishops of each diocese and missionary district of the Communion, together with one priest and one lay delegate from each. The Anglican Congress of 1954 marks a new era in the history of the Anglican Communion in that it is the first representative gathering of the Church held outside the British Isles". -- Intro., p. 2-3.
