We have seen ELCA leadership attempt to eliminate masculine pronouns when referring to God (see here, here and here).

This is confirmed again in a written conversation between three ELCA seminarians:

Person One - posts that he - "(i)s unsure if Wartburg's conversion of me toward a posture of inclusive language about God is a blessing or a curse as I learn songs for VBS!!! I cringe every 4 seconds as I hear masculine pronouns!"

Person  Two - "I do the same thing here during bible studies!!!"

Person Three - "YOU TOO!!!!! It's driving me NUTS! Hahahaha...funny thing is I NEVER thought it would."


(Person One is referring to Wartburg Theological Seminary when he says "Wartburg.")


It is interesting how removing masculine pronouns for God is called "inclusive."

So sad. I suppose they cringe every time they read Scripture as well. What a truly silly and idiotic practice.

Also, our full communion partner, the United Churches of Christ recently deleted "Father" from it's statement of faith in its own constitution.
