16/03/2022

A meeting of the Next Steps Group was held over Zoom on Thursday 3rd March.
Stained glass window

College of Bishops and Episcopal Discernment

The Group discussed the likely format of and participation in the autumn meetings of the College of Bishops.  The focus of these gatherings will be to discern what the Spirit is saying to the Church regarding questions of identity, sexuality relationships and marriage. The College will draw on the feedback from church-wide engagement with LLF as well as from the LLF resources themselves. It was agreed that members of the LLF Reference Group will be invited to meet with the Next Steps Group, within the coming months to discuss what role the Reference Group might play in this process.

Interim Report
 

The meeting had sight of the Interim Report on responses to date through the LLF Questionnaire. The group noted the considerable increase in numbers of responses and expressed their gratitude to the team that is collecting the data within a robust methodological framework. The group considered and commended some options for highlighting LLF’s engagement with Scripture beyond what is explored – necessarily briefly – in the LLF Course.
