At Lambeth 2022 important points were made that contribute to the ongoing discussion of the nature of Anglican identity. But these may not find their writes ways into summary reports, Chris Sugden.

I begin with Justin Welby’s second inspiring Keynote Address to the Conference. He said: ‘Revolution means first that our church institutions do justice and love mercy and walk humbly with our God (Mic. 6:8). That we do not tolerate what is wrong because it fits the culture or we have always done it that way, or because our lawyers say so. A church that leaves the world unchanged around it has been changed by the world. A church that leaves people unconverted has been converted to the world.’

Former General Secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of the Anglican Communion (EFAC), Vinay Samuel from India, notes that a revolution must be true to God’s word, empowered by the Spirit and centred in Christ, as there are many human revolutions in the world. Love is not the only foundation for revolution. It has to go with truth.
