Thinking about Human Sexuality: Resources
The Church of England is currently in the midst of a discernment process regarding same-sex marriage within church. The purpose of this page is for members of B&A to engage with a range of material on this topic to enable you to understand the issue, the theology and come to a view for yourself.
The clergy at B&A hold to the traditional and orthodox view which is that the bible teaches that sex is for marriage and that a marriage is between one man and one woman. We believe that Jesus is Lord and that He is good news for everyone. As a church we are committed to offering a welcome to all and sharing the love of Jesus with all.
We want to help you as a member of B&A to carefully consider this issue and take time to prayerfully read, learn and come to a conclusion for yourself. If you want to chat with one of us about this please do get in touch.
