Hard to believe isn’t it. Unfortunately, all too true. When I went to a Congregational church in Berkeley (because UCC – United Church of Christ – apparently also stands for Unitarians Considering Christ) I saw a lot of the same thing. The use of either gender neutral or feminine language for God, the (very occasional but still!) use of milk and honey instead of bread and wine. Heresy of a particularly insidious kind.
Well…whatever floats your boat, I guess…(supresses urge to go EW! EW! EWWWW!)
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with that? I think it’s kind of awesome. But then again, I did one of my seminar papers at Smith on rosary culture in Christo-Pagan communities. 🙂
I don’t think that changing pronouns and engendering God one way or the other would fill me, but if it makes people happy and it brings them holiness, I say right on.
