On 9th November the Church of England published the “Living in Love and Faith” (L.L.F.) resources. This began a new process of discernment and decision-making on questions of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. The resources have been designed to help all God’s people to learn about and discuss matters of human identity and sexuality, an arena the Church of England has found very difficult.

It also seeks to help all members of the Church of England engage with these issues and hear God’s voice speaking into society today. The feedback from engagement across the church, this year, will inform discussions next year on whether or not to change the Church of England’s stance on marriage and human sexuality. We are running the 6 week Living in Love and Faith course in Swindon at various dates and times this Autumn.

This is an important time for the Church of England’s mission, please consider taking part.
