Church of England might give God gender-neutral pronouns
2023-02-09
[NYPOST] The Church of England is considering scrapping centuries of religious teaching to give God gender-neutral pronouns.

The church, which is headed by King Charles III, confirmed that its Liturgical Commission has launched a special project to examine updating future teachings.

Some priests have already made such changes, trading references to "he" and "him" for simply "God" or even "they" and "them," and rewriting the "Our Father" that starts the Lord’s Prayer to "Our Father and Mother."

One unidentified priest defended the updated language — while conceding to the Times of London that critics "think we’re being a bit woke."

"God is not male. Certainly not the white cis male with a beard, sitting on a cloud we seem to reduce and limit God to so often," the Rev. Chantal Noppen also told the UK Times.

#6  "...we seem to reduce and limit God to..." Another pretentious arsehole that loves to say 'We' when he/she/it means "You ignorant peasants".

#4  Somehow I can’t even conceive of trying to define what gender God is or isn’t; might should have a totally unique pronoun.

#2  Yet another decision to help the real estate sales division of the Church of England as they close down more centuries old churches for lack of congregation. Woke is so appealing to what is left of the traditional laity!
