In preparation for the meeting of General Synod in November (13th-15th) the house of bishops met last week to discuss ‘Prayers for Love and Faith’. If you don’t know what these prayers are Church Society has produced a handy guide here. The bishops have suggested that these prayers be authorised for use, though not as official liturgy. This would lead to a full debate and vote in synod in 2025 to authorise similar prayers as liturgy. The bishops’ statement is here. Please pray about this. My view, and that of others, is that we cannot bless what God says is sin. Please pray that our voices will be hear in synod in November.
