Résumé : |
This book is one of the resources produced by the Living in Love and Faith project. Commissioned and led by the Bishops of the Church of England, it has involved many people across the Church and beyond. They bring a great diversity and depth of expertise, conviction and experience to exploring these matters by studying what the Bible, theology, history and the social and biological sciences have to say.
The book takes readers on a journey that begins with reflections on God's gifts of life, relationships, marriage and learning. A survey of what is happening in the world with regard to identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage is followed by an exploration of how Christians are to understand and respond to these trends in the light of the good news of Jesus Christ. The bookthen examines the ways in which Christians seekto hear God and how it is that they draw different conclusions. The book invites the whole church to use the Living in Love and Faith resources to learn together. It closes with an appeal from the Bishops to join them in discerning a way forward for the church that is open to new vistas on our disagreements and new perspectives on our differences. The Living in Love and Faith book is accompanied by a range of digital resources including films, podcasts and an online library -available via www.churchofengland.org/LLF- together with Living in Love and Faith: The Course, which is designed to help local groups engage with the resources. |
