The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) has just released the fourth film in its current series ‘God’s Beautiful Story’, developed as the Church of England considers potential change in the area of human sexuality and marriage.
The latest film explores one possibility that the Church of England might adopt – to allow some form of recognition/ celebration of sexually active relationships other than that of a marriage between a man and a woman. Such a proposal might be accompanied by reassurance that the teaching of the Church of England regarding marriage has not changed and that no one will be forced to do anything against their conscience.
The new film highlights a number of concerns about this possibility, with CEEC convinced that this approach cannot be supported by Scripture and that any such change would make it nigh on impossible for evangelical leaders and churches to hold to a Biblical line in parishes.
