A landmark document in Anglican ecclesiastical history, The Lambeth Conference 1948: The Encyclical Letter From The Bishops; Together With Resolutions And Reports presents the official proceedings and declarations of the historic 1948 gathering of Anglican bishops from across the globe. Convened at Lambeth Palace in London, the conference addressed pressing post-war theological, moral, and organizational challenges facing the worldwide Anglican Communion, and this volume chronicles the bishops' collective responses through formal encyclical letters, resolutions, and committee reports. Written in the measured, authoritative tone of ecclesiastical governance, the text illustrates the breadth of concerns occupying Anglican leadership at mid-century, ranging from questions of Christian unity and interfaith relations to social ethics and the nature of the Church. An indispensable primary source for scholars of Anglican history, ecumenism, and twentieth-century Christianity, it remains a definitive record of how the Communion sought to navigate a rapidly changing post-war world.
