There have been a lot of headlines about the Church of England in recent weeks.

Many open letters have been written, a celibate gay bishop has been paraded, and even Church meetings in Tunbridge Wells have got a mention. I don’t think it is just the lack of real news during the ‘silly season’ that has caused it. No, it is also the fact that the Shared Conversations about Scripture, Sexuality and Mission are officially over, and the time has come to make a decision. And there is no easy answer.

The General Synod of the Church of England is drawing to a close as I write.

In fact, it officially came to an end last Saturday night but since then the majority of members have been cloistered in Shared Conversations about Sexuality, Mission and Scripture. I say the majority, because some have disappeared home and others, including myself, have been here but have refused to take part in the process because of the fundamental flaws in the way that they have been designed.
