The Coventry Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship (CDEF) exists to unite in fellowship all Evangelical Anglicans in the Diocese of Coventry, and to foster and express their special contribution to the life of the Church.
The Fellowship’s basis of faith is that of the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC), including their two declarations.
Membership is open to all clergy and laity who live or work in the Diocese, and who support the aims of the Fellowship and assent to the CEEC basis of faith and declarations.

UPCOMING EVENT
Living Out – Saturday 24 September, 9.30am-2.30pm, St. Paul’s Leamington
The Living Out team will be led by Ed Shaw. All of them are same-sex attracted and hold to traditional biblical teaching on sexual ethics. They have spoken and written widely on the subject. Their website is full of really good resources: articles, testimonies, videos, books etc.
The aim of the day is to help churches understand how we can better help those who experience same-sex attraction to stay faithful to biblical teaching on sexual ethics and to flourish at the same time. The main teaching will be in the morning, with more testimonies and Q&A in the afternoon.
We will provide drinks and biscuits. People need to bring their own lunch. The day costs £5 but is free for those who are unwaged. Please book into the day directly here.
