http://lambethdiary.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Sunday, August 3, 2008. A Concusion Without Conclusions. Today the 2008 Lambeth Conference officially came to a conclusion—a fact that inevitably raises the question “What has it accomplished? Placing ourselves in the hands of the living God is always a risky thing, of course. What has been produced? None of which should minimize it’s significance. It is quite simply a faithful record of conversations hel...This af...

http://lambethdiary.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. No Word For 'Resurrection'. What do you do when there’s no word for “resurrection”? The topic for discussion in our Indaba Groups today was the interpretation of scripture. The specific question posed to us was “What would you consider are Anglican Ways [of] interpreting the Bible? Which brings an element of creativity into the task of biblical translation and interpretation. Sir Jonathan ...

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. The word is Zulu and Xhosa and means quite simply “an important conference or gathering.”. Although the process as it has been practically implemented here has been widely criticized, I am mindful of the question posed by the Archbishop of Canterbury during his first presidential address—that is, “how effective has the old process been?

The Lambeth Diary: Getting To The Point With John

http://lambethdiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/lambeth-conference-support-staff-led.html

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Sunday, July 27, 2008. Getting To The Point With John. Each of the encounters with Jesus described in these passages (listed further down on right-hand side of this page) pose, in different guise, two of the most basic questions of faith- that is, who is Jesus, and who are we in relationship to Jesus? That too, I would hope, is the point of encountering the gospel. To the degree that I can, I'll say more in the day...

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Friday, August 1, 2008. Yesterday I arrived for lunch at Keynes College ahead of the noonday crowd and found myself sitting down alone at an empty table in an uncharacteristically quiet dining hall. In short order, however, I heard a familiar voice from behind saying, "May I join you? It was Bishop Martin Nyaboho of Burundi, smiling warmly, and I was delighted to see him. I welcomed the company.

The Lambeth Diary: London Day: The Walk of Witness

http://lambethdiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/london-day-walk-of-witness.html

Personal reflections and notes by the bishop of colorado from the 2008 lambeth conference. Friday, July 25, 2008. London Day: The Walk of Witness. Yesterday was officially “London Day” in the Lambeth Conference schedule—which meant at the very least an early start to load some 1600 people (bishops, spouses, and staff) onto buses for the two hour trip to into London. While there is no disagreement on the sentiment of opposing global poverty, our collective will is sadly lacking. If we, the Church, do ...
