- "The Conference of 1958 has been, for all the bishops who were privileged to attend it, an experience of fellowship, unity, and prayerful thought which they will never forget. But the resolutions and reports of that Conference will have little effect unless every congregation in the Anglican Communion studies them with care and thinks how they may be made effective in the life of each church. This book will help forward this process of world-wide thinking and action." -- Foreword.
- This book is the outcome of a reading of the Lambeth Conference reports, and especially that of 1958, and an attempt to put them in their context. The context, of course, is as one writer sees it, and the book, with all its marks of haste, must accordingly be incomplete. Equally it must be incomplete because the insights vouchsafed to three hundred and ten very diverse bishops in six weeks of discussion cannot be reduced to one volume of this size. There are many areas of the discussion which have perforce had inadequate treatment. .... The first two chapters are concerned with significant features of to-day's world scene. The rest looks more specifically at those problems which Lambeth, 1958, considered and at the ways in which and the means by which Anglicanism aims to fulfil its vocation in the fifties of the twentieth century". -- Author's Intro.
