The Lambeth Conference is one of the global Anglican Communion's Instruments of Communion.
It
takes place every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop
of Canterbury. It is the one occasion when all bishops 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.
Spouses of the 800+ bishops who attend are invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury's wife to a parallel, independent gathering: the Spouses' Conference.
The current Archbishop of Canterbury - Rowan Williams - has called the next Lambeth Conference for July 2008. His wife, Jane, will convene the Spouses' Conference.
