LIVING IN LOVE AND FAITH (LLF)

 As a member organisation of CEEC, the EGGS committee commends
​the CEEC press release to its members here and its resources here.

We encourage EGGS members to engage in diocesan discussions as part of the LLF process and to support the faithful witness of evangelicals around the dioceses.

We encourage members to pray, work and hope for an outcome to the process which will enable evangelical witness to thrive and support the mission of the church
'to seek and to save the lost’ (Luke 19v10).
 
Members (and others) might also find the following articles/blogs helpful in
​their initial engagement with Living in Love and Faith:

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE - LETTER TO P.M.
​REGARDING CONVERSION THERAPY
​

The Evangelical Alliance has written to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, outlining how current proposals being considered by the Government on conversion therapy could pose a direct threat to religious liberty and restrict personal freedoms. The letter, which recognises the harmful practices of religious groups in the past, highlights the possibility that these measures could result in criminalising Christians and common church activities.

Read it here.

A LETTER FROM EVANGELICAL BISHOPS TO THE 'LIVING IN LOVE
​AND FAITH' COORDINATING GROUP
​

In response to repeated requests from around the country, a number of evangelical bishops have written to Bishop Christopher Cocksworth and the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) Coordinating Group.

Their letter asks that the LLF work takes seriously the biblical evidence and the church’s traditional understanding of it regarding identity, marriage and relationships, hears the voice of the Anglican Communion and understands that for many evangelicals, change in the Church of England’s teaching and practice has serious consequences. It recognises the challenge facing the LLF Group and offers prayerful support as they wrestle to know the mind of Christ.
