The Prayers of Love and Faith are a series of prayers that are intended to be used by ministers, to pray with and for a same-sex couple who love one another and who wish to give thanks for and mark that love in faith before God.
In December 2023 the House of Bishops has commended a suite of prayers which include prayers of dedication and thanksgiving; prayers for guidance, for companionship, for God’s blessing, and for the couple’s home and families. Some of these prayers have been specially authored and others are older and have been identified as suitable for this use.
Here are the links to the prayers and the pastoral guidance which accompanies the use and implementation of PLF. The guidance emphasises good practice, as well as answer questions that clergy, lay leaders and congregations may have as they seek to make decisions around the use of the PLF.
