Lambeth speaks plainly (That Was Then)
by Stephen Noll, Contending Anglican:
The year 1998 was the last time the Lambeth Conference spoke plainly. That it did so was something of a miracle. The Communion Establishment had carefully prepared an agenda whereby the innovations of homosexual ordinations and same-sex “blessings” in the Episcopal Church would be received with “good disagreement” from those in the Global South who were, frankly, unaware of the “development” of doctrine and practice in the West. These plans were foiled by an alliance of Western conservatives who had seen where the sexuality agenda was leading and courageous Global South leaders who stood up and said No.
I was present at Lambeth 1998 and wrote this evaluation of its key Resolution I.10 shortly thereafter.
