In July 2011, the House of Bishops commissioned a review group to
draw together and reflect upon explorations on human sexuality
conducted since the 1998 Lambeth Conference, and to offer proposals
on how the continuing discussion within the Church of England about
these matters might best be shaped. The group, which included four
bishops, was Chaired by Sir Joseph Pilling. This is the group's
report. Recognizing the continuing deep divisions within the Church
on matters of sexuality, its key recommendations are for a process
of facilitated conversations across the whole Church of England and
in partnership with the rest of the Anglican Communion. The report
considers the rapidly changing context within which the group
undertook its work. It examines the available data about the views
of the public in our country over time. The report considers
homophobia, evidence from science, from Scripture and from
theologians. Included with the main report are a Prologue - 'Living
with holiness and desire' by Dr Jessica Martin - and Appendices by
Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead and by the Revd David Runcorn,
setting out two viewpoints on Scripture and same sex relationships.
The Report of the House of Bishops Working Group on human sexuality
- while it is not a new policy statement from the Church of England
- offers findings and recommendations to form part of the process
of facilitated conversations.
