June 1 - Church Of England Group Wants To Call God A 'She'

The Church of England group that successfully campaigned to ordain female bishops is now fighting for greater gender inclusivity by saying God should be called both "he" and "she." Members of Women and the Church (WATCH) started shaking up the way Anglican church leaders talk about God by raising the issue in interviews with several UK outlets.
 
"When we use only male language for God we reinforce the idea that God is like a man and, in doing so, suggest that men are therefore more like God than women," WATCH member Rev. Emma Percy, chaplain of Trinity College, Oxford, told The Sunday Times. "This means that women can see themselves as less holy and less able to represent Christ in the world. If we take seriously the idea that men and women are made in the image of God, both male and female language should be used."
