A spokesperson announced that scriptural depictions of divine infinity should be seen more in religious services to honor this ancient truth because for centuries, the Church has held that God transcends gender categorization. Despite reports of potential reform, the church has confirmed that there are currently no plans to drastically alter authorized services. Ian Paul argued that the title of 'Father' carried by God is vitally important, and cannot be replaced without changing its meaning. It’s a bold move, but the Church of England has taken powerful action to bring its stance on gender and sexuality in line with progressive modern-day ideals.
