Just the News reports that the Right Rev. Dr. Michael Ipgrave, Bishop of Lichfield, will lead a commission to oversee the transition to neutral language this spring. Ipgrave says that priests have been wrestling with the issue of gendered language for years. Some priests have altered the Lord’s Prayer to say “Our Father and Mother” and have decided that God’s pronouns are they/them. The Rev. Chantal Noppen commented, “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. God is far bigger than a binary sense of gender allows.”

Meanwhile, Rev. Ian Paul has warned that playing the pronoun game with God would move the doctrine of the church away from the Bible. He also noted that changing “Father” to “Mother” or some sort of neutral designation would create a loss of meaning.

Fox News said that Rev. Joanna Stobart wrote:

Please could the Liturgical Commission provide an update on the steps being taken to develop more inclusive language in our authorized liturgy and to provide more options for those who wish to use authorized liturgy and speak of God in a non-gendered way, particularly in authorized absolutions where many of the prayers offered for use refer to God using male pronouns?

Just come all the way out and worship Satan as your God openly. He’ll be all for any “inclusive “ language you want.

So, What Happens to "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"?

Easy answer: It will go out the door with parishioners like ME who flee churches that go "woke" like this.

Ditched my traditional church after it went "woke" a few years ago and never looked back. All that was left were elderly parishioners in their 80s and 90s, all the families left, including ours.

One of the speakers stood up and asserted that Jesus did not begin his ministry at the direction of God, but rather of Mary. She cited the wedding in Cana in which Mary asks Jesus to fix the wine situation as proof. In her estimation, Jesus could not start his work until his mother told him to do so.

That's one of multiple reasons we believe Joseph had died before Jesus began His ministry. Instead of Mary asking Joseph to find a solution, she turned to Jesus. Another being that Jesus, not Joseph, read from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-20). The belief is that it was Joseph's family's turn to read Scripture that day, since Jesus read it then perhaps Joseph had passed away.

By the way, back to Mary asking Jesus to help with the wine. Jesus' first response to Mary was "Woman, why do you bother me? My time has not yet come." (John 2:4). That doesn't exactly sound like Jesus sheepishly doing whatever His mother bid him to do. Sounds to me like Jesus wanted to start His ministry on God's time, not Mary's.

One should never confuse the COE with an actual church. They are the Patriotic Church of England. As England goes post-Christian, so does their established “church”.

And the Church of England goes to hell. Along with all the other churches that insist that God accepts homosexuality and that it’s not a sin.

The Holy Trinity as They, Them, Those.

What horrible mush. Flaccid and mired in toxic estrogen, steeped in Socialist ethos and Gaia worship.

Buncha dang fools.

The Church of England on its never ending quest to make God into the image of sin filled man.

Creator/Redeemer/Sanctifier
I recall seeing a Lutheran college website that used these terms, as opposed to Father Son and Holy Spirit.

but probably because all of the cool kids are doing it.

Yes, a lot of this junk is a fad. I'd like to think it will pass, but I thought rap "music" would pass quickly as well.

Will “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” be replaced with “Mother, Daughter, and Holy Spiritess?”

More likely: "Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer."

If they are no longer a valid church, who cares what they do. In Revelation, Jesus warns the churches about removing their
lampstands. It’s time to leave and find a live church.
