Through its ‘Living in Love and Faith’ (LLF) programme, the Church of England wants to understand what it means to follow Christ in love and faith given the questions about human identity and the variety of patterns of relationship emerging in our society, including marriage, civil partnership, cohabitation, celibacy and friendship.
Our Diocesan LLF Advocates, Helen Lawrence and Richard Walker, have made a series of short videos to introduce the five 'Pastoral Principles' underlying the LLF programme; you will find hem via our LLF page at www.dioceseofyork.org.uk/llf.
