AGM in Canterbury for 2008

By Philip Poole
Jun. 13, 2008

The Archbishop of Canterbury will welcome us to his Cathedral for the Annual Meetings on Friday November 7th and Friday, November 8th. Our preliminary thinking, and I emphasize that this is subject to change, will see our meetings start at 2pm on the Friday afternoon concluding around 5 p.m. That evening the Dean of Canterbury Robert Willis will host a dinner for us and provide an opportunity for us to learn something of the extraordinary place this Cathedral has in our Anglican Communion. We will reconvene on Saturday, likely at 9:30am, and conclude our meetings mid-afternoon. The Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. Williams have invited us to a personal gathering during which time photographs can be taken, intimate conversations be entered into, a meal be served with an opportunity to worship with the Archbishop in this historic setting. Those who wish will be able to worship Sunday morning in the beautiful Cathedral with Cathedral parishioners.

 

Members are responsible for getting themselves to and from Canterbury. We will provide information about hotel bookings as soon as they are available. We provide a variety of accommodation settings both inside and outside the Cathedral Close. Members are responsible for their accommodation and other costs.

Watch here for updates as more information becomes available.
