The Living in Love and Faith (LLF) cause is still going strong, according to CEEC’s National Director, following the latest General Synod.
Following a five-hour debate of a four-part motion, two new groups will be established which will be chaired by bishops and will be tasked with carrying the LLF work forwards. Both the Archbishop of York and the outgoing programme board made it clear that the cause must continue.
Rev John Dunnett, National Director, CEEC, said:
“It is anticipated that the newly established groups will be pushed very hard by those wanting to pursue change to bring to the General Synod, as quickly as possible, some kind of proposal to amend the canons of the Church of England, so that clergy same-sex marriage will be a possibility.
“It’s also possible that the General Synod will find itself debating a motion, even as early as this July, exploring the proposal that intimate same-sex relationships are entirely compatible with Christian discipleship.”
