An historic consultation took place between Anglicans and Pentecostals earlier this week at High Leigh in Hertfordshire.

Initiated by the Church of England’s Council for Christian Unity, it took forward resolutions passed at successive Lambeth Conferences, and bore out Archbishop Justin Welby’s recent call for greater interaction between the two traditions.

Nine Anglicans and eight Pentecostals gathered for two days of dialogue, prayer and worship to explore their similarities and differences, and to chart a way forward for enhanced partnership in mission.

Papers were presented on the roots and development of Anglicanism and Pentecostalism in England and worldwide, on Christian initiation, on worship, ministry and spiritual gifts, and on the nature and mission of the Church.

A report of the consultation will be made available shortly on the websites of the Church of England and participating Pentecostal churches and networks.
