The LLF material was published in late-2020, and all parishes in the Church of England are being encouraged to engage with the process in 2021. The Bishop of Maidstone encourages all resolution parishes to engage with the material and to consider prayerfully how best to respond. Given some of the reservations that have been expressed about the LLF process, Bishop Rod is happy to commend the response from Revd Simon Austen (the Rector of St Leonard’s in Exeter and a member of the Bishop’s Advisory Group).
