Following General Synod’s decision yesterday regarding the Living in Love and Faith process, please see below a quote from the Church of England Evangelical Council.
Rev John Dunnett, National Director, Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC), said: “The General Synod has accepted the House of Bishops’ proposal to repaint the LLF bus and keep the journey going. However, this runs the risk of perpetuating the pain of many unless they work out how to accommodate theological oil and water in a way that gives safe spaces for everybody.
“CEEC’s conviction is that this cannot be done without a differentiated arrangement. We hope and pray that the House of Bishops will welcome such a discussion in order that a way can be found to resolve this ongoing and fractious disagreement.”
