A report of the Anglican Ecumenical Consultation which took place at the Emmaus Retreat Center, West Wickham, Kent, England, 27 January-2 February 1987 in preparation for ACC-7, Singapore, 1987 and the Lambeth Conference 1988
“At the end of January 1987 the Chairman and Vice-Chairman chosen to lead the Ecumenical Relations section at the Lambeth Conference 1988 met for five days with a number of bishops and ecumenical officers from the Anglican Communion. The meeting had two purposes. It was to prepare a document for the Ecumenical Relations section at Lambeth. It was also to prepare a paper on Ecumenical Relations for ACC-7. The original intention was that the same paper should serve both purposes. However the time proved insufficient to produce a complete document for Lambeth 1988, and so the Chairman and Vice-Chairman will meet at the end of July 1987 with one or two others to supplement the present document. The advantage of this will be that they will be able to incorporate into their final preparatory document comments that come from ACC-7, and responses to the letter that they sent earlier to the bishops who will come to Canterbury in 1988”. — Preface.
