The Lambeth Conference is one of the Instruments of Communion for the global Anglican 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.
