The Church of England Evangelical Council invited a group of senior evangelical theologians to write a position statement on sexuality.
This group, responding most immediately to the House of Bishops' report, 'Issues in Human Sexuality', but also to wider cultural trends affecting all denominations, produced 'The St. Andrew's Day Statement', which managed in very brief compass to be theologically profound, pastorally sensitive and ethically conservative. However, it cried out for exposition (it is notoriously opaque in places) and for open discussion. That latter task is what The Way Forward? attempts. Note the question mark in the title.
