The House of Bishops published a statement on LLF last week which attempts to summarise the outcomes of the process we have followed and next steps.
Yesterday the papers were published for the General Synod which provide the background for a report and debate during the February Synod which begins on 9 February.
Please hold the Synod and all the Oxford Diocesan representatives in your prayers in the coming weeks as we engage once again with questions of human identity and sexuality.
Warm thanks to all across the Diocese from all perspectives who have contributed to the LLF process over many years.
Many LGBTQIA+ people, their families, and their friends will be experiencing a range of difficult emotions and responses about what the outcomes mean for them.
If you’d appreciate a safe, confidential space to talk, pray and ask questions, or simply be heard, you are warmly invited to get in touch with an LGBTQIA+ Chaplain here.
