The cruelty that these elected officials are coming at our community with in an unrelenting manner flies in the face of reason or any sound judgement.

They know the power that we are building and it scares them.

We are living in a time that the ancestors of our movement never thought would be possible, we are visible, we have been seen and we have been heard.

These attempts of state sanctioned c̵r̵u̵e̵l̵t̵y̵ violence against our community will not win.

The Church of England is exploring whether to use gender-neutral language instead of referring to God solely with masculine pronouns, such as “He” or “Our Father” — which would be a major change after millennia of prayer and teachings. The church is launching a project on “gendered language” this spring, following a years-long effort to study the ways in which God is referred to and addressed in liturgy and worship.

“Christians have recognised since ancient times that God is neither male nor female,” the Church of England said in an emailed statement. “Yet the variety of ways of addressing and describing God found in scripture has not always been reflected in our worship.” The church — and theologians — say this is nothing new, and is part of a broader push to adapt the language it uses to contemporary times. Any decision to change the language used to refer to, or address, God would also need the approval of the church’s legislative body — and there is no consensus so far on the best language to use. 〰️ Visit the link in our bio to read more.
