The book entitled God, Gays and the Church: Human Sexuality and Experience in Christian Thinking, contains testimonies of Christians who had homosexual orientations but now live out straight lives, and will been seen as controversial by more liberal members of the Synod who back same-sex relationships.

The testimonies are complemented by essays in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, genetics, and Biblical theology, and the book includes a foreword by the Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt. The book is published by the Latimer Trust, an evangelical think tank for the Church of England.
