Church plans to consider the idea of a gender-neutral God are not supported by two-thirds of the UK population, stems from the results of a study by consultancy firm Redfield & Wilton Strategies .The church’s intention is for priests to stop using the pronouns “he” and “his” when addressing God. It is also proposed to remove the phrase “Our Father” from the prayers, writes the Daily Mail newspaper.65% of Britons are against changing the gender-neutral designation of God, while only 15% of respondents approve of the initiative. Most often, this idea finds support among young people, much less often among retirees.Plans by the Church of England to use gender-neutral terms to refer to God were originally reported by the Guardian. It was noted that the gender language project will be considered this spring.
