We welcome you!

As the Lambeth Conference concludes, I am aware of a profound gratitude that I feel quite sincerely. This has been a unique and wonderful experience, and I am very thankful for it. My sense of appreciation begins with the people, churches, and Diocese of East Tennessee. Annie and I both are very, very grateful for the opportunity of being at Lambeth at this very significant time in the life of the Anglican Communion.

- The Rt. Rev. Charles G. vonRosenberg,
in a reflection from the Lambeth Conference
on August 4, 2008 (see below for more from Lambeth)
