Some snippets from the Lambeth Conference documents follow.Bear in mind that what the Lambeth Conference stands for, so doesAlpha Course. Nicky Gumble was there at that scandalous conference,under the headship of the Archbishop of Canterbury as an Anglican.

That INTERFAITH with otherreligions is behind the curtains, not just the ecumenical movement?
