LLF – Living in Love and Faith – is an unprecedented suite of teaching and learning resources to equip the church in discerning God’s will in relation to identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. LLF arose out of the refusal of General Synod to “take note” in February 2017 of the House of Bishops’ proposed way forward for the Church of Engla...
Because LLF makes no formal recommendations and is such a diverse range of teaching and learning resources, it is really impossible to sum up “what LLF says”. The heart of its message, however, is well captured in the book’s opening Invitation and closing Appeal from the bishops who commissioned LLF and have worked with its team throughout the last...

It is hoped that, in various ways, groups will gather within the church to learn together drawing on the LLF resources and perhaps doing its 5-session cours...
My hope is that as evangelicals we will take time to explore and, in the words of CEEC, “look closely”, at all that is to be found in LLF before rushing out instant, knee-jerk responses. There is much here we can welcome but also much which will disappoint or disturb us. I believe there is an opportunity provided by LLF to engage graciously and con...
Having spent many years reading, writing, talking and debating about the issues covered by LLF I have to confess I joined it with some weariness and trepidation but also some excitement and expectation given the people involved. Thankfully, those latter positive hopes far outweighed the negative fears and I hope and pray that the same may be our wi...
