The End of the Church of England Dispute on Sexuality?
The House of Bishops released a significant statement following their meeting, where they spent six and a half hours discussing the next steps in the LLF process.
The statement was released earlier than planned due to a newspaper obtaining the documents from the Faith and Order Commission (FAOC).
It is worth reflecting on why they are now (at last) so radically changing direction.
The release of the FAOC documents and legal advice will provide more insight into the discussion. The question remains as to why this change in direction has occurred after the launch of LLF in 2017 and the Shared Conversations prior to that.
In summary, this appears to be the end of the process.
