Our Father Who art in Heaven, Inconvenient Be Thy Gender

In an effort to combat domestic violence (what used to be more bluntly and honestly called "wife beating"), the Church of England has tossed theology out the window and released a report telling clergymen they should avoid referring to God as "He" because,

'Uncritical use of masculine imagery', such as calling God "He", could validate 'overbearing and ultimately violent patterns of behavior'.
And to Hell with annoying little things called facts. The C of E has once again demonstrated that if given a choice between political correctness and Christianity, it's just too bad for Christianity.
