  Summaries of the July 2007 Group of Sessions are now freely available from the Church of England website, for information and onward distribution to diocesan and parish publications. They are provided in a standard format - which includes links to the relevant background papers and an audio file of each debate – and a shorter version without the supplementary material, which is ideal for reproduction in parish magazines.
