NEW YORK (DPS, Jan. 26) -- On January 16 the Anglican Consultative Council in London announced the publication of The Truth Shall Make You Free: The Lambeth Conference 1988. This 345-page book contains the reports, resolutions, and pastoral letters from the bishops that document last summer's conference at Canterbury.
Four Section Reports (Mission and Ministry, Dogmatic and Pastoral Concerns, Ecumenical Relations, and Christianity and the Social Order) and the actual texts of the resolutions form the heart of the book. They are prefaced by a descriptive introduction to the contents and the text of the Archbishop of Canterbury's opening address, "The Nature of the Unity We Seek."
These key sections are followed by a list of participants and six appendices. The first four appendices are ecumenical responses to the Archbishop's address and the last two are important statements on "Instruments of Communion and Decision Making" and "Jews, Christians and Muslims." Finally, there is a reprint of pastoral letters. The book has a comprehensive index.
The book is now available from Church House Publishing, Church House, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3NZ, England. The price is $15.00. Please add $3.54 for postage to the United States.
