I welcome the recent United Reformed Church Statement – United in Christ through God’s calling (urc.org.uk) – which reaffirms our commitment on human sexuality and our calling through Christ, and ‘call[s] upon all with whom we are united in Christ to pray with us, in the words of the Commitment made by the General Assembly of the United Reformed Church: “In love and submission to Christ who holds us together, we … commit ourselves to stay together, to work and pray together, to treat one another with respect, and to seek God’s gifts of unity, harmony, wisdom and deeper understanding”.’

I will not be commenting any further on Living in Love and Faith or the various responses to it at this time, and commend this statement to you instead.

With peace,

Alex
