The Lambeth Declaration

The Lambeth Declaration is a statement made by Anglican bishops during the Lambeth Conference, a gathering held approximately every ten years to discuss church issues. It emphasizes the Anglican Communion’s core beliefs, including commitment to the authority of Scripture, the importance of Christ’s central role in faith, and the unity of the church. Essentially, it reaffirms traditional Christian doctrines and guides how Anglicans should live and serve in the world. The declaration helps maintain a common understanding among diverse Anglican churches worldwide, especially amid differing cultural and social contexts.
