Living in Love and Faith (LLF) is a comprehensive set of resources created by the bishops of the Church of England to assist Christians in discerning God's will regarding various aspects of identity, sexuality, relationships, and marriage. As individuals within the Church of England utilize these resources, it is essential to address two crucial questions: What do the LLF resources encompass? And what theological implications do they hold? This book aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed response to both inquiries.

Beginning with an overview of the background and content of the LLF materials, the book delves into the theological implications of these resources. It highlights the shortcomings of the LLF material in providing the necessary teaching for Christians in the Church of England to live out their calling as distinctive followers of Christ, who are called to be salt and light in the midst of contemporary Western society's idolatry.

The book concludes by offering guidance to biblically grounded Anglicans on how to engage with the Next Steps process, which follows on from the LLF. It addresses FAQs related to the LLF and provides insights into the ongoing discussions and developments within the Church of England regarding these important issues.

A foreword by Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali adds an additional layer of authority and insight to the book, emphasizing the significance of addressing these theological challenges and the importance of engaging with the Next Steps process in a faithful and biblical manner.

In summary, this book is a valuable resource for Christians in the Church of England who seek to understand God's will regarding identity, sexuality, relationships, and marriage in light of biblical principles. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the LLF materials, highlights their shortcomings, and offers guidance on how to engage with the Next Steps process in a way that upholds the teachings of the Church.
