In the contemporary crisis in the Church of England, it is more important than ever that we contend for the faith which has been passed down to us. Lee Gatiss’s book, Fight Valiantly, explored the Bible’s teaching on contending, along with a study guide and a wide variety of stories about contending in different contexts.
The attached pdf includes the Thirty Theses on Contending, which are a summary of the conclusions drawn in Fight Valiantly, including relevant Bible references. This can be downloaded and printed or shared digitally, perhaps with your PCC and Churchwardens, your church staff and key leaders, or even with your whole congregation. We hope it will be a valuable resource as you consider how your congregation can contend for the faith in the Church of England today.
