Continuing the Lambeth conversations, Episcopal Divinity School offers webcast and study guide

October 02, 2008 [EDS] Bishops from Province I of the Episcopal Church reflect on their experiences of the 2008 Lambeth Conference in the Lambeth Review webcast, part of Episcopal Divinity School's fall continuing education programming.

Panelists the Rev. Dr. Ian Douglas, member of the Lambeth Conference Design Team; the Rt. Rev. Chilton Knudsen, resigned (retired) bishop of Maine; the Rt. Rev. Thomas Ely, bishop of Vermont; and the Rt. Rev. Gayle Harris, bishop suffragan of Massachusetts speak about Lambeth 2008 and "their hopes for how this experience of conversation and deep listening can both strengthen the Anglican Communion and help people of faith live into their service to God's Mission of justice, compassion, and reconciliation," an EDS news release said.

The webcast is available here.

For congregations, deaneries, or dioceses wishing to engage in the same Indaba discussion groups as the bishops used at Lambeth 2008, EDS announces the availability of "God's Mission, Your Call: Bringing Lambeth Home A Study Guide." Incorporating the Indaba curriculum used at Lambeth, this study guide presents the material in a form conducive to an adult Sunday school, retreat, or adult education format. The study guide is available in both hardcopy ($25) and PDF ($5) formats, including permission to copy as needed for one congregation or one study group.

For further information on "God's Mission, Our Call: Bringing Lambeth Home," contact the Rev. Elizabeth Magill at lmagill@eds.edu or 617-682-1581.
