Check this out. I wonder if the changes they made are strictly in the NT or if they extend to the OT.

The language issue originated in the 1980s with the ascent of religious feminism. A panel from the more liberal National Council of Churches published translations of key Bible passages that abolished "male-biased" language regarding God and Jesus Christ.

Jesus' famous prayer became "O God, Father and Mother, hallowed be your name."

Wonder what they did with:

You, O Lord, are our Father;
From of old, Your name is ‘Our Redeemer.’ (Isaiah 63:16)

Disgusting. Political correctness run amuck.
