@thomasmsharp.bsky.social's clear and careful critique of these documents is a gift, and I hope it will be widely read and engaged with. Such flawed reports cannot be accepted uncritically as shaping the church's life.

My response to the second FAOC report, this time on the Doctrine of Marriage, which led to the Living in Love and Faith decision of the House of Bishops is out on Via Media.

⚓️✝️

viamedia.news/2025/11/11/a...
This was the second report which briefed the House of Bishops before they made their decisions in October about Living in Love and Faith (LLF). This is another extraordinary document, with which I imagine many of the members of the Faith and Order Commission will not have been entirely content. At least, I hope they would not be. Its purpose is to determine ‘whether and how the Church’s public use of these prayers coheres with, realises new boundaries for, or departs from its established teaching on marriage’ (§1). It does not do this, as we shall see. But it does present a case, or perhaps more accurately talk around the assumption, that the Prayers of Love and Faith (PLF) (let alone equal marriage) would constitute a departure from the traditional doctrine of marriage. It does this around four general themes: 1 - public perception and theological significance of the PLF; 2 - ecclesial condoning of “life choices”; 3 - disagreement and liturgical diversity; 4 - the Church’s traditional teaching on marriage.

I’m honoured to be a guest on the fantastic Dr Selina Stone’s #podcast ‘Sunday School for Misfits’ this week. This season of the podcast is on power, and we had a lot to talk about when it comes to #disability, #neurodivergence and power in churches and #theology.

This is a sad, sad tale of failure upon failure in the @churchofengland.org — and for that reason (amongst others) it demands to be read: it must never be allowed to happen again. Don’t look away #CofEpeeps

We ordered a couple of books at the weekend - 1 from @canterburypress.bsky.social and 1 from @chpublishing.bsky.social - despite being 2 imprints of Hymns A&M and running through the same invoicing system we had to order separately and pay 2 lots of P&P (1/2)

Finally one thing they are, due to being statistical models of text, these neural networks and other large language models are indeed designed to do: milquetoastify boringify language.

Hi #CofEpeeps ✝️

We’re holding a brass band led community carols event
Not formal Nine Lessons, that’s the following week, but more Christmassy readings - think Dickens and Christina Rossetti
Also singing a few secular Christmas songs
I’ve got resources but a ready made one would help
Any offers?
