CHANGING ATTITUDE
Celebrating Ten Years
LAMBETH CONFERENCE 1998
At the Lambeth Conference of 1998, lesbian and gay sexuality was placed on the agenda of the section entitled ‘Called to Full Humanity’.
Members of Changing Attitude were invited to make a presentation to the subsection chaired by Bishop Duncan Buchanan of Johannesburg. At their first session, the subsection declined to receive the presentation from Changing Attitude. The subsection produced a valuable report after three weeks of challenging work. The subsection was asked, against its will, to formulate a resolution to present to the plenary session. This was repeatedly amended during a notoriously heated and unpleasant debate.
The final resolution (Resolution 1.10) attempted, and failed, to balance affirmation of lesbian and gay people with a restatement of what is presented as traditional church teaching. The full text of Resolution 1.10 is available on the Lambeth Conference website.
