Whilst it is frustrating that Living in Love and Faith hasn’t yet led to more substantive progress in the Church of England, there has been some signs of movement.
Amongst these is the introduction of the Prayers of Love and Faith (PLF). A suite of prayers and resources available for Church of England churches and ministers to use to affirm, mark and celebrate relationships, and covenanted friendships, that go beyond “traditional cis-het” ones.
No church or minister will be forced to use them, they are simply offered for those who would like to use them, to do so. All Church of England churches have an entry on A Church Near You, though they may have their own additional online presence. ACNY pages are however a useful central place for people to find and learn about their local parish church.
If your church has agreed to offer PLF please make sure this information is publicly available. There is a tick-box to do this that someone with ACNY admin rights can use. But it’s a little tucked out the way and hidden at the very bottom of a long list.
