Members of the Church of England’s General Synod issued a statement expressing their dissatisfaction with the July Synod’s ‘Shared Conversations’ on human sexuality.
A group of 32 General Synod members expressed their ‘lack of confidence’ in the Church of England’s ‘Shared Conversations’ on sexuality, following a meeting in York between 8 and 12 July.
The statement
The statement read: ‘Since the beginning of the regional conversations people from all traditions in the church have bemoaned the lack of serious engagement with the Scriptures. Sadly, despite promises to correct this matter, these concerns remain at the end of the process. We hope that the Bishops will ensure that our varied experience does not outweigh the uniting power of a commitment to truth and holiness as described in God’s Word.
