Newly elected members of the Church of England's General Synod should "listen especially" to the "lament, fear and pain of LGBTQI+ people", say the bishops leading the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) consultation on marriage, sexuality and gender identity.
Synod members got the order in an "LLF Guide" sent out with papers for the first meeting in their new five-year term taking place on November 16 and 17 at Church House Westminster.
It will be the first time the CofE's legislative body has met in person since the start of the Covid pandemic.
The recent elections attracted a record number of candidates, with 956 standing for 400 places for the Houses of Clergy and Laity combined. A majority of those elected - 60 per cent - are new members.
The LLF consultation across the Church, launched in November last year, is led by its Next Steps Group of nine bishops. It is chaired by the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, and includes the conservative evangelical Bishop of Maidstone, Rod Thomas.
The group has met 14 times since June 2020.
"It has produced the overarching strategy for engagement and listening across dioceses, and a time frame for the discernment and decision-making phases of the process," the LLF guide says.

Let’s go Brandon.
I be5 this means agree with the queers and other nitwits.
No.
Homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God. Period.
While we don’t need to be killing them we don’t need to be celebrating their sin either.
Synods... useless POS in my opinion. ELCA is the same and why my small church ignores them
Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. Anglicans? Are they following the Bible’s precepts?
They won’t stop until they get the blessing of the Church for their perverse behavior.
“I bet this means agree with the queers and other nitwits.”
Yep, don’t even fight back.
Anglicans Told to Be ‘Less Adversarial’
/\
Sorry,
my answer to an invitation to participate in sodomy
will remain
extreemly “ adversarial”.
Transgendered hospitality.
There is nothing adversarial within a congregation when discussing this topic. There is the word of God, and the feelings of the devil. It is simple and easy to see the divide.
Church of England’s General Synod should “listen especially” to history and how Henry VIII did that same amount of crimes as Bill Clinton.
When it looks like the after effects of Romans 1:18-32 are on display all throughout the culture don’t be surprised to learn when all is said and done that it had been done to many people.
The fruit associated with being turned over to a depraved mind is fair warning to folks to flee from fellowship with those who display it and refuse to repent. We cannot honor the Lord by being dragged down the on ramp to the broad way that leads to destruction and going along to get along is no excuse.
