the 39 Articles are certainly not very “politically correct” in these modern times.

The more casual attitude to the 39 articles is not a question of political correctness from the Anglo-Catholic perspective, but it from the progressive protestant perspective. The Anglo-Catholic view tends to see them along with the Elizabethan settlement before them more as a political compromise than great theology. The progressive protestant view is that the 39 Articles were the best understanding at the time,given the limited level of 19th century human enlightenment, but now that they have the millennium goals, and a fuller understanding of Gaea, the 39 articles can be redefined to a more contemporary understanding along with the Bible, the US Constitution and the Hardy Boys mysteries.
