Lambeth Conference 2008 Blog

The brand new Spouses' Implementation Group had its first meeting on Saturday.

Mainly made up of English bishops' wives and others with experience running big events and an understanding of the global church, this group was  appointed by Jane Williams recently. It will serve the international Spouses Planning Group, which is the decision-making body for the Spouses Conference. (So many groups - even I'm confused!)

Unfortunately, the Spouses Planning Group is only able to meet twice in preparation for summer 2008, so we needed a team of people to get some of the local work done inbetween times. Hence the creation of the Implementation Group. You can find more details about it on the Spouses Conference section of the web site.

The meeting was at Lambeth Palace. We made good progress and enjoyed a very good lunch. Of course, you'd expect that - given that all the group members are women! Looking forward to the next meeting on May 26th.
