The background, preparations and prospects for the Lambeth Conference 2022 at Canterbury, republished from my article commissioned by Prospect Magazine.

On 15 Nov 2008 a National Evangelical Anglican Consultation took place at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London in the wake of the GAFCON conference in Jerusalem in June 2008. The conservative Evangelical leadership of Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) wanted the whole consultation to sign up to the GAFCON statement. The motion was 'not put'. It was a seminal moment. Graham Kings, Vicar of St Mary's Islington, wrote about it in The Guardian on 17 Nov 2008. 

The Theological Resource Network of the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion met in Kingston Jamaica in April 1997, in preparation for the Lambeth Conference of 1998. This paper was presented then and published with the other conference papers in Transformation 15.1 (1998).
