WashPost Skipped DC Episcopal Church’s Vote to Avoid ‘Gendered Pronouns for God’
8th February 2018
Fr. Mark Hodges at LifeSiteNews reported on the latest religious innovation in Washington, DC. The Episcopal church in the diocese of Washington quickly passed a resolution at the end of January to stop using “gendered language for God” at the Diocese’s 123rd Convention.
Yeah, I too initially thought that this was about something completely different (but just as PC). Sometimes headline writers are better than they realize.
“By expanding our language for God, we will expand our image of God and the nature of God,” they stated.
I guess the assumption that ‘Father’ is a reference to, like, a masculine person is just so 2000 years ago.
The joke on Twitter was “So everyone gets to choose their personal pronouns now, except for God.”
Yeah, pretty much.
I wonder whether future generations of Episcopalians will ever be taught that they were once considered Christians. Probably not. The blow to their self-esteem would be apocalyptic.
