The Lambeth Conference takes place every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is the one occasion when all bishops in the Anglican Communion can meet for worship, study and conversation. Archbishops, diocesan, assistant and suffragan bishops are invited.
Also invited are bishops from other churches 'in communion' with the Anglican Communion, bishops from United Churches and a number of ecumenical guests.
Visit our Lambeth Conference page to learn more.
The Rt. Rev. Eugene T. Sutton, bishop of Maryland and the Rt. Rev. John L. Rabb, bishop suffragan, have been invited to attend Lambeth. Our bishops will periodically send updates and reflections from Lambeth.

An Invitation to Pray for all those gathered at Lambeth
The Rev. Canon Mary Glasspool has compiled a suggested daily prayer list for the Lambeth Conference. The prayers are listed on the right side of the Lambeth Page.
Maryland Church News Summer, 2008We give you thanks that from the beginning you have gathered and prepared a people to be heirs of the covenant of Abraham, and have raised up prophets, kings and priests, never leaving your temple untended. We praise you also that from the creation you have graciously accepted the ministry of those whom you have chosen. (Prayer of Consecration, BCP, p. 520)
Diocesan Convention may be over for this year, but the work continues. In this edition of MCN Online read about the ongoing efforts of the Task Force on Reparations for Slavery and contemplate a poem by famed Harlem poet Georgia Douglas Johnson. Good works continue at our churches as St. Mark’s Church, Lappans, shares its unique Lenten worship, St. John’s Church, Mt. Washington, feeds the hungry, and St. John's Church, Ellicott City, is honored for its commitment to Camp Amazing Grace.
