Yesterday marked the first day of the Lambeth Conference, the gathering of bishops from all across the Anglican Communion. Taking place every ten years, this certainly becomes what anyone would categorize as an 'event'.
Thankfully, this conference will actually set a good tone for all of us in the way it is structured, beginning with three retreat days (7/17-19) and then an opening Eucharist on the 20th. Working in small groups, putting a variety of voices in each one, not only making diversity an important undergirding construction goal, but makes community that much more engaging.

Please keep all bishops, including primates and the Archbishop of Cantebury, in your prayers. Pray also for a constructive and Spirited gathering, in every sense of the word!
