Ecumenical Reception at Lambeth Palace Library

Working together for unity

Work with other Christian Churches

"I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one."

(John 17.20)
As part of the whole Church of God, the Church of England seeks to work with other Churches and make visible our unity. We believe that by working with other Churches, we can have a greater impact in our communities and on society as a whole. We are committed to joining with others in discipleship, witness to the Good News and worship of God.

The Council for Christian Unity supports the Archbishop of Canterbury's ecumenical ministry, in collaboration with staff at Lambeth Palace.
