This article explores the understanding of unity articulated in the ‘Appeal to all Christian People’ issued by the 1920 Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops. It first examines the expression of the Appeal’s vision in terms of organic unity and mutual recognition, the way that this developed through the drafting process and how this vision related to later Anglican approaches to unity. It then explores the relationship of the Appeal to the Lambeth Quadrilateral of 1888, particularly with respect to the episcopate, arguing that the Appeal took an ambiguous approach to episcopacy which was in tension with the language of mutual recognition. Finally, acknowledging that the overarching theme of the 1920 Lambeth Conference was ‘fellowship’, the article considers the Appeal’s vision of unity in the context of the approach to unity taken by the 1920 Lambeth Conference more widely, including the Conference’s other ecumenical resolutions, and its resolutions on mission and the Anglican Communion and the bishops’ Encyclical Letter, particularly its approach to international relations. The article concludes that, while the vision of organic unity that was articulated in the Appeal was reflected in the conference’s resolutions on mission, in other aspects of its work the 1920 Lambeth Conference tended to take a federal approach to unity and fellowship and was thus not fully consistent.

本文探讨了1920年英国国教主教兰贝斯会议发表的“对全体基督徒的呼吁”中表达的对团结的理解。首先，它从组织统一和相互承认的角度审视了上诉愿景的表达，这一理念在起草过程中的发展方式以及该愿景与后来的英国国教徒如何实现统一的关系。然后，它探讨了上诉与1888年Lambeth四边形的关系，特别是在主教方面，认为上诉对an教采取了approach昧的态度，这与相互承认的语言产生了张力。最后，承认1920年兰贝斯会议的首要主题是“团契”，本文考虑了上诉人在1920年兰贝斯会议采取的统一方法的背景下的统一愿景，其中包括会议的其他大公决议，其关于宣教和圣公会的决议以及主教的《通函》，特别是其处理国际关系的方法。文章的结论是，虽然呼吁的明确决议体现了有机团结的愿景，但该会议的执行决议却反映了这一观点，但1920年的兰贝斯会议在其工作的其他方面却倾向于采取联邦方式对待团结与团契，因此并非如此。完全一致。特别是它对国际关系的态度。文章的结论是，虽然呼吁的明确决议体现了有机团结的愿景，但该会议的执行决议却反映了这一观点，但1920年的兰贝斯会议在其工作的其他方面却倾向于采取联邦方式对待团结与团契，因此并非如此。完全一致。特别是它对国际关系的态度。文章的结论是，虽然呼吁的明确决议体现了有机团结的愿景，但该会议的执行决议却反映了这一观点，但1920年的兰贝斯会议在其工作的其他方面却倾向于采取联邦方式对待团结与团契，因此并非如此。完全一致。
