It is easy to see why many bishops will return from the Lambeth Conference grateful for the experience – with a greater understanding of what it means to be part of a global network of churches, writes Susie Leafe.

One bishop from South Sudan, in a region torn apart by civil war, said he had learned that his church was not the only one that suffered. Another bishop, from the Horn of Africa, surrounded by luxury beyond his wildest dreams, wept each day for his flock at home.

Stories have been shared and selfies have been taken. I have no doubt relationships have been formed that will impact the work of the gospel over the years to come.
