CNN: Presbyterians stay with Trinity language

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP) -- Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) delegates stopped short Monday of approving gender-inclusive language for worship of the divine Trinity, along with the traditional "Father, Son and Holy Spirit."

CNN: Presbyterians stay with Trinity language

Thank God.

I really doubt there was much chance of this passing. But I noticed on the other thread that Nancy Olthoff was chairwoman of this travesty, who said...

"This does not alter the church's theological position, but provides an educational resource to enhance the spiritual life of our membership," legislative committee chair Nancy Olthoff, an Iowa laywoman, said during Monday's debate on the Trinity."

Going to her church's website in Iowa, I see there's a Harry Olthoff mentioned who is General Presbyter of the East Iowa Presbytery.

This folly runs deep.
