CEEC says 2026 will be a 'critical year' for the CofE

This year will be a critical one for the Church of England (CofE), says the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC).

"The Living in Love and Faith trajectory is going to continue (confirmed by the recent General Synod); deanery and General Synod elections will be taking place; and the pressure on finances, stipendiary ministry and ordinand numbers is ongoing," CEEC says.

With this in mind, CEEC has announced three Summits in April. These Summits will bring together evangelicals in the Church of England in prayer and worship, to listen to one another, and to share what needs to happen in 2026/27 to uphold and secure orthodoxy.
