Abstract

The article seeks to reflect on the Lambeth Conference of 2008 and, in particular, the use of the indaba method of engagement, in the context of the Anglican Communion’s fractured history and its need for inner reconciliation. It proposes that theological and pastoral work is required in the areas of conflict resolution and communication.

The following article was prepared before the TEC (The Episcopal Church) General Convention of 2009, and does not take account of its decisions.
