The ‘black hole’ at the centre of the Church of England

It is easy to think that the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) can is being perennially “kicked down the road”.

However, en readers are invited to note that we are about to enter a season in which Diocesan Synods across the Church of England are being invited to hold a special discussion on the proposals. Make no mistake – these discussions will be used to give “ballast” to the project – and the juggernaut will lumber on.

LLF continues to be the “black hole” at the centre of our life – consuming time, prayer and thought when, I think I’m right in saying, most of us just want to get back to what it’s really all about – the gospel, mission and ministry. But this is one of the most divisive and sensitive issues of our time and it is worth contending for.
