GOD'S BEAUTIFUL STORY
CEEC is pleased to offer a collection of short films to help leaders in evangelical churches launch and enable good conversations about human sexuality and the implications of any change in understanding or practice within the Church of England.
Our hope and prayer is that hundreds of churches will find these resources helpful in engaging with any proposals emerging from the Living in Love and Faith project.

FILM 3 - How important are our differences.
‘How important are our differences’ is the latest film in the CEEC collection ‘God’s Beautiful Story’.
It asks whether the profound differences of conviction about human sexuality within the Church of England
can be resolved by ‘agreeing to disagree’ (biblical scholars call this 'adiaphora' - ie can we see different views
as equally biblical or not?). The film suggests that these differences are profound rather than superficial
and that they cannot simply be ’papered over’.
