[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The actual resolution: “[u]If [/u]revision of the Book of Common Prayer is authorized, to utilize expansive language for God from the rich sources of feminine, masculine, and non-binary imagery for God [u]found in Scripture and tradition[/u] and, [u]when possible[/u], to avoid the use of gendered pronouns for God."

They aren't rewriting the Lord's Prayer.  They resolved that if the Episcopal Church authorizes a revision of the Book of Common Prayer, it ought to try to use gender-inclusive language.  To which I say, why not?  It's not that hard to use inclusive language most of the time.  My parish already uses it, and it's mostly a matter of saying "God" instead of "he."  [/quote]

This.  It's not hard at all.  I do it all the time in chaplaincy work.  There are so many easy ways to do it without it seeming awkward:   God,  Living- Loving God (even the Southern Baptists are ok with that one),  Divine Spirit, Spirit, Loving Spirit, Source, Creator, .....  So many great ways to say the same thing.[/quote]
