We live in an age in which there is widespread confusion

about matters to with sex, marriage, and family life not

only in society at large, but also within the Christian

Church.

The purpose of this new Primer is to address this

confusion by providing clergy and laity alike with a

basic introduction to what the Christian faith has to

say about these matters. it is particularly designed

to help Christians to understand the issues that will

be discussed in the Church of England following the

publication of the Living in Love and Faith material in

late 2020.

The Primer explains in clear terms the basis of a

Christian approach to these matters, and then goes on

to look at what Christianity has to say about marriage,

singleness, friendship, intersex and transgender, sex

outside marriage (including same-sex relationships),

divorce and re-marriage, birth control and treatment

for infertility.
