Church of Sweden Ends "He" in Referring to God; Says God Is Not Human in Defending Its Change

The Church of Sweden has decided to make some changes on how clergy refer to God the Father, the CBN News website reports today (November 27, 2017).

The church's 251-member board voted recently to end terms like "He" and "Lord" and use the more gender-neutral term "God."

According to the board, these changes will go into effect in May of 2018.

"Theologically, we know that God is beyond our gender determinations; God is not human,"church head Archbishop Antje Jackelen said in defending the Church of Sweden change.
