Lambeth 1998: what Resolution I.10 says about sex and marriage
In short
Adopted by Anglican bishops at the 1998 Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, Resolution I.10 upholds lifelong faithfulness in marriage between a man and a woman and states that abstinence is right for those not called to marriage. Lambeth resolutions are not legally binding on member churches, including the Church of England, but I.10 remains a reference point in Anglican debates.
