    Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said that God is “not male nor female,” after female bishops demanded the Church of England stop referring to God solely as “he.”

    The head of the worldwide Anglican communion told attendees at a lecture at St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square: “All human language about God is inadequate and to some degree metaphorical.

    “God is not a father in exactly the same way as a human being is a father. God is not male or female. God is not definable."

    Archbishop of Canterbury Declares God Gender Neutral

    Matthew 6:9 (KJV) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

    Luke 11:2 (KJV) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

    Here's some metaphorical language for the archbishop: jumping the shark. Cause he's doing it.

    Back up there Archbishop... Gender neutral?... Then explain this?... Brother Glen:)

    Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

    All I can say is wow. I think Tyndale summed it up nicely. God is the living father of us all. Father as in man not gender neutral.
