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:
