Rev Dr Isabelle Hamley leads a service from the 2022 Lambeth Conference with a reflections from the Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum and Bishop Eleanor Sanderson.
The Lambeth Conference was a meeting of Anglican bishops, but accompanying them were a number of guests from other churches. Their presence reminded us that no church is the Church. They reminded us that we belong to something bigger than ourselves, that Christians are brought into relationship with a vast network of others through space and time, others who inescapably different, and whose friendship enriches our lives.
This morning's service is led by Rev Dr Isabelle Hamley comes from the Lambeth Conference and reflects on unity. The reflections are given by the Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, and Associate Bishop in the Diocese of Wellington, New Zealand, Eleanor Sanderson.
