Sermon from the Archdeacon of London Clik picture for pdf
Next year there will just be one Synod, an international one in October 12th-15th in London, something which has been well received by brethren in other provinces. More information will be out soon, but please put the date, especially Tuesday 13th, in your diary and arrange cover for the whole day.
2020 is the centenary of the Lambeth Conference where it is recognised that the Anglican Communion looked away from itself to all Christendom. Occurring at the same time as the Malinies conversations and the Anglo- Orthodox discussions, the Conference made a commitment to the ecumenical movement and the call for full, visible unity amongst all Christians; a charism of Our Society enshrined in our Statues. In Acta I have already commended to you the recent ARCIC statement "Walking Together" to read as individuals and to respond to locally and in your chapters. Please see this as homework for the 2020 synod! A recent New Directions ( which I hope you all receive and read) article introducing the Statement asked " but who is listening to this?" I would like too be able to respond "SSC brethren are, and acting upon it".
