Lambeth Conference participants challenged to make environmental changes  now

Preserving God's creation is church's 'core business,' bishop says

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service, Canterbury] Participants in the 2008 Lambeth
Conference have been challenged to apply their moral leadership to the  issue
of climate change -- and to begin by mitigating the environmental impact  of
their travel to Canterbury.

The bishops and their spouses spent July 25-26 discussing the role of  the
church in ecological crises facing the earth.

While they entered a July 25 plenary session devoted to the environment,
they were given a brochure explaining that all travel which was "paid  for
centrally" would be offset by way of a contribution to an environment
project in Africa or Asia. The brochure invited those who had paid their  own
way or whose diocese had paid for them to travel to the conference to  work
with conference staff to calculate the carbon emissions of their trip  and
then make a similar contribution via the conference. The most expensive
example given was $118.25 for a roundtrip from Sydney, Australia to  London.

Lambeth Marketplace offers goods, ideas, meeting place

Episcopal Church's booths enable conversations about mission

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service, Canterbury] From a woman selling "holy socks"  --
along with "glory golf balls" and "biblical brollies" -- to advocacy  groups
from across the spectrum of causes, to clerical haberdashers offering  the
latest in episcopal wear, the 2008 Lambeth Conference's Marketplace is a
place to meet with others, shop, and learn.

Tucked behind the main venue of the Lambeth Spouses Conference, the
marketplace has been set up in two gymnasiums and features about 50
exhibitors, including a corner booth for Lambeth Conference souvenirs.

Five of those exhibitors represent the mission and ministry of the  Episcopal
Church, including the Episcopal Church Center, the Episcopal Church
Foundation, Episcopal Relief and Development and its Nets for Life
initiative and the United Thank Offering.
