<!-- Wikidata item Q113453264 -->
This was the first conference not to take place in Lambeth Palace. This was because of the increase in the number of bishops attending, as well as the presence of almost 100 observers and consultants. Meetings were instead held at Church House, Westminster although the bishops, with their spouses, were invited to dinner at Lambeth by rotation.
* Presided over by [[Michael Ramsey]] who famously dozed off during at least one debate.
*462 bishops attended
*Recommended the ordination of women to the diaconate and the recognition of previously appointed "deaconesses" as deacons.
*Found the arguments for and against women in the priesthood "inconclusive".
*Suggested that assent to the [[Thirty-Nine Articles]] no longer be required of clergy.
*Endorsed [[open communion]].
