A Facebook friend of mine, a pastor, posted that she was attempting to let the worship leader at a conference know she was concerned about the exclusive male language being used for God in the worship service.
He replied something like, “…the smart women I know don’t mind using masculine language for God because they know God isn’t male…”
I answered with “(face palm)”.
The responses on Facebook were uniformly supportive of my friend.
One of the best replies, though, came in the form of a blog from another pastor. Check it out!
