NUNTIUS SCRIPTO DATUS
Ad Suam Gratiam Rev.mam Doctorem F. Donaldum Coggan, Archiepisco­
pum Cantuariensem et Communionis Anglicanae Praesidem, occasione
oblata XI Conferentiae Lambethianae, a die 23 m. Iulii ad 13 m. Augusti
habendae.
We have learnt with deep interest of the forthcoming eleventh Lambeth
Conference of the Bishops of the Anglican Communion, to he held
this year in the historie city of Canterbury.
Vivid memories of the Second Vatican Council enable us to appreciate
the value of such a period of common reflection by Christian
pastors, and we note with happiness that the thème which is to dominate
the Conference is the place and function of the Bishop in the
world of today. This thème has already been the subject of fruitful
dialogue between Anglican and Catholic scholars, and we hope that the
Conference on its part may serve to lead us closer together in fellowship.
We assure you of our prayers for the Conference and invoke God's
abundant blessings upon it.
From the Vatican, 18 July 1978.
