Ian Paul told The Telegraph that any such adoption of gender-neutral terms would constitute an abandonment of Church doctrine.“The fact that God is called ‘Father’ can’t be substituted by ‘Mother’ without changing meaning, nor can it be gender-neutralized to ‘Parent’ without loss of meaning,” Paul said. “Fathers and mothers are not interchangeable but relate to their offspring in different ways.”A spokesperson for the Church of England downplayed the alleged controversy over the proposal, implying it does not amount to the kind of “culture war” issue that those on the far-right — both inside and outside the church — would like to portray it as being.“This is nothing new.
Christians have recognized since ancient times that God is neither male nor female, yet the variety of ways of addressing and describing God found in scripture has not always been reflected in our worship,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “There has been greater interest in exploring new language since the introduction of our current forms of service in contemporary language more than 20 years ago.“There are absolutely no plans to abolish or substantially revise currently authorized liturgies, and no such changes could be made without extensive legislation.”

for the liberal outlet Salon, Cross complained about certain comedians who are trying to brand themselves as heroes of “free speech” by railing against cancel culture.He specifically mentioned comedians who make jokes about “trans people,” a dig that seem directed at comedians Dave Chappelle and Bill Maher, who have courted controversy for not pulling their comedic punches against the LGBTQ community.
