If this was 10 years ago I'd have probably dismissed it like, "That's weird but okay, we all know God doesn't really have a sex, so whatever, knock yourselves out"

But now? I'm not even religious but having witnessed Western culture and traditions being systematically eroded by these woke nutjobs lately has made me very disagreeable to any kind of change like this because I know now that when you give them an inch you are inviting them to eventually take the whole mile. And the more little changes like this that you concede to, the more of their foot you let in the door, the more leverage you give them to bust into the room and burn it all down, which is the ultimate goal.

Nah even ten years ago the radfems were trying to push this sort of thing. It's common in the church though. There's lots of women, they tend to be super emotional and stupid about religion in the same way that the woke are about theirs. Lots of overlap. Lots of really mean evil women that like to use religion as an excuse to be shitty to other people then hide behind Jesus as their excuse for being a cunt. Blasphemous behavior really.

And they keep wondering why they can't hold onto young people. Between that and the hey fellow kids stuff, then you've got the TBN type froofy hair women. And the scumbag grifter men in there ready to take advantage of all of that and make loads of money.

Church isn't supposed to be popular or even catering to the current thing. Supposed to be a place for local communities to center around tradition on occasion. Once you get rid of tradition what's the point of attending church vs just doing literally anything else? If I'm going to go to church Sunday morning and get a bunch of woke garbage I might as well just go to the movies instead.

I might be somewhat sympathetic to the less extreme feminists irl. But once it starts coming to church leadership very very much against the idea letting women in. I've seen so many women who once in a position of spiritual authority over someone just utterly abuse that. It brings out the worst feminine tendencies and is a prime example of "toxic femininity". No thanks. Once you let women be preachers the church is dead. Leave it behind and waste no time there.

In case any feminists want to take offense to this, let me just ask you this, is there any group more annoying than church ladies attempting to legislate your morality? Do you want them to have more power?

The Rev Joanna Stobart, a vicar in the diocese of Guildford, Surrey, said that some clergy want to refer to God without saying He or Him, particularly in prayers of forgiveness for sins.

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

In response, the Bishop of Lichfield, the Rt Rev Michael Ipgrave, said: 'We have been exploring the use of gendered language in relation to God for several years, in collaboration with the Faith and Order Commission.

'After some dialogue between the two Commissions in this area, a new joint project on gendered language will begin this spring.

'In common with other potential changes to authorised liturgical provision, changing the wording and number of authorised forms of absolution would require a full Synodical process for approval.'

The proposal was welcomed by a group that campaigns for 'gender justice' in the Church of England.

Women and the Church (WATCH) said: 'WATCH welcomes the start of another project in the Church of England to look at the development of more inclusive language in our authorised liturgy.

'We hope that a proposal will be brought to Synod soon, as we believe that a theological misreading of God as exclusively male is a driver of much continuing discrimination and sexism against women.'

That old slippery slope again. The people who opposed the ordination of women in the Church of England were called nutters when they said that this would happen. I guess the Roman Catholic Church will experience another boost in conversions as they have done every time the CoE decided to “update their liturgy for a modern audience”.

May be blocked by the American and African churches though, they’re more conservative, especially the African church.
