[Church of England] The College of Bishops of the Church of England has now concluded its previously announced three-day meeting (Oct. 31 to Nov. 2) called to begin a process of discernment and decision-making about questions of identity, sexuality and marriage.
Under the banner 'Living in Love and Faith' (LLF), the Church produced a suite of resources in November 2020 about human identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. These include a book, a video course, podcasts and videos of the lived experiences of a wide range of individuals. These have been available through a variety of channels across the Church including websites and local parishes.
Since then, the Church has been encouraging churchgoers from across the country to take part in a process of learning using the resources, listening to one another and to God. A report of the gathered responses from this churchwide engagement was published in September 2022.
During the recent three days of meetings at the College of Bishops, bishops drew on this wealth of resources and the many conversations that have been held with a wide range of stakeholders to inform their discernment.
