The meeting, which took place in the comfortable environment of High Leigh conference centre, began with welcomes (including a message by video from David Porter, the leader of the programme), and then careful explanation by the team of facilitators of the protocols on how to listen and speak respectfully..
……..
In our group of nine we had a discussion on “how does Scripture influence your approach to sexuality?” One of the central ”˜rules’ which was gently but firmly and consistently enforced by the facilitators was that at all times we were to preface a statement by “in my view”, or “for me”¦”. We could not for example say “the Bible says”¦” or “Jesus teaches that”¦”, or “the church has always believed”¦” ”“ because it was assumed that in this discussion there are no truths, just different and equally valid interpretations and viewpoints.
Clearly the TEc PLAY’em BOOK 2.0
Having given up the Holy Ghost, the spiralling descent must accelerate and the TEc-ite gathering become fully actualized in the coE.
Sounds like they were pleasantly banal, too.

They reveal more than they intend or know about their heart:

Scripture should shape and determine a Christian’s approach to sexuality, not merely “influence” it.
