U.S. Episcopal Diocese Votes to Stop Using Masculine Pronouns for God

WOW! This is such fabulous news! For thousands of years the human species been orphaned and tragically and severely out of balance through the process of being deprived of knowledge and awareness and honoring of the Goddess, the Divine Feminine, the Great Mother. Our Earth Mother would certainly not be on life support if the crushing of the feminine had not occurred. This has long, long needed to shift and be transformed in order to make possible the wholeness and well-being of us all. Blessed be!  Molly

The Episcopal church in the Diocese of Washington, D.C., passed a resolution last week to stop using masculine pronouns for God in future updates to its Book of Common Prayer. 

The resolution to stop using "gendered language for God" was passed quickly by delegates to the Diocese's 123rd Convention.  

“If 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 found in Scripture and tradition and, when possible, to avoid the use of gendered pronouns for God,” the resolution stated. 

“Over the centuries our language and our understanding of God has continued to change and adapt,” the drafters of the resolution stated. The drafters said that referring to God using masculine pronouns is to "limit our understanding of God."    

"By expanding our language for God, we will expand our image of God and the nature of God," they stated.
