- Notes
- "The [2008] conference ended with a 42-page document, entitled 'Lambeth Indaba: Capturing Conversations and Reflections' which they called a 'narrative' that seeks to 'describe our lived experiences and the open and honest discussions we have had together'. In it, aside from addressing issues around human sexuality and unity, the bishops expressed their views on ecumenism, human and social justice, the environment, relations with other world religions, strengthening Anglican identity, and issued statements of solidarity with people around the world who are in situations of conflict. Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, said that the conference had, as a whole, been 'consistent' with the theme of equipping bishops as leaders in mission. 'The mission of the church in the world was a really major focus, particularly in the first half of the conference', he said in an interview with the 'Anglican Journal'."
