Don’t waiver, bishops told
Helen Catt
The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) has just released the fourth film in its current series ‘God’s Beautiful Story’, developed as the Church of England considers potential change in the area of human sexuality and marriage.
The latest film explores one possibility that the Church of England might adopt – to allow some form of recognition/ celebration of sexually active relationships other than that of a marriage between a man and a woman. Such a proposal might be accompanied by reassurance that the teaching of the Church of England regarding marriage has not changed and that no one will be forced to do anything against their conscience.
Evangelical roadshow
Helen Catt
The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) has embarked on a series of country-wide meetings to help local churches be ready for potential change post-Living in Love and Faith (LLF), the C of E’s ongoing discussion about sexuality.
‘We are excited and encouraged to be visiting local leaders – both ordained and lay – in parishes across the length and breadth of the country. These meetings are proving invaluable in helping Diocesan Evangelical Fellowships (DEFs) be ready for the post-LLF landscape’, said John Dunnett, Director of Strategy and Operations, CEEC.
CofE evangelicals 'implored' to join key local groups
The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) has implored orthodox Anglicans across the country to join their local Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship (DEF).
DEFs were the brainchild of John Stott back in the 1960s. They still exist today and some would say are a ‘lifeline’ to and between the many orthodox Anglicans across the country who are feeling increasingly isolated by and wearisome of the Living in Faith process and resulting proposals.
