FIEC doctrinal basis update on track

Trustees of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) are progressing their plans for an Extraordinary General Meeting in November.

At that event, member churches will be asked to vote on proposed changes to the organisation’s Doctrinal Basis, its Women in Ministry ethos statement and its CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) Constitution.

Writing on the FIEC website, Chair of Trustees Ian Jones (pictured) explains: ‘These changes are not substantial, but we hope they will provide important theological clarity… Some churches … are not adopting the current FIEC Doctrinal Basis because it does not make a Biblical statement on what we believe about marriage.’
