UK: Calls to refer to God as a woman as female bishops take up posts.

Hilary Cotton, chair of Women And The Church (Watch), the group which led the campaign for female bishops, . . . said that while congregations were already experimenting with new terminology, it was time for the issue to be considered by the Liturgical Commission, the body which drafts official service books, as well as those drawing behind a planned new catechism.

“Until we shift considerably towards a more gender-full expression in our worship about God then we are failing God and we are missing something,” she said.

“We are [also] going to miss some of the opportunities that otherwise particularly women might feel themselves called to.”
