Travel Company Appointed for Lambeth Conference 2008 Ephrata, PA USA ….MTS TRAVEL, Inc., has been named the official travel agency for the Lambeth 2008 conference to be conducted at the University in Canterbury, Kent, England, July 16 through August 4, 2008. The Lambeth Conference is one of the Instruments of Communion of the global Anglican Communion.
It is convened every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury and is the only occasion when bishops can meet for worship, study and conversation. Archbishops, bishops, assistant and suffragan bishops within the Communion are invited. Also invited are bishops from other churches 'in communion' with the Anglican Communion, bishops from United Churches, along with a number of ecumenical guests.
MTS TRAVEL’s CEO and President , Jim Buddendorf, announced the award to MTS staff. “We are pleased to be appointed the official travel agency for Lambeth. I am certain that our success in winning this business is in part due to our long history with the Episcopal Church Headquarters in NYC and the Anglican Consultative Council in London. Thanks to all of the MTS-New Jersey based staff who work so hard to service these very important clients.”
As well as the 800+ bishops who attend, their spouses are invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury's wife to a parallel, independent gathering: the Spouses Conference. Before the Lambeth Conference 2008 begins, all bishops and spouses will be invited to enjoy a weekend of hospitality in a diocese in England, Scotland or Wales.
MTS TRAVEL, Inc., has negotiated airfare contracts which provide economical prices and flexible terms, enabling the bishops and spouses to travel on worldwide major airlines at a reduced cost. Their travel consultants, expert in missionary and religious travel, also handled arrangements for the Lambeth Conference 1998. Since 1997, MTS has provided travel services for the London-based Anglican Consultative Council, headed by the Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon.
