"Spirit"...Not to be confused with "Holy Spirit," which does not exist and is a judgmental mythical construct which creates guilt and lack of self-esteem.

In my Episcopal church the libs/fems/glbs etc practically scream out SHE during the nicene creed for the Holy Spirit. I guess that is their compromise with us reactionaries.

"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son HE is worshiped and glorified.
HE has spoken through the Prophets."

Now you see, if you said it the way the Fathers wrote it, there wouldn't be this problem:

"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke through the Prophets."

Change the procession of the Holy Spirit and all kinds of strange things happen! :)
