COLUMBUS, OHIO (6/21/06)-While addressing a morning Eucharist at the 75th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop-elect Katherine Jefferts Schori declared, ”Our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation. And you and I are His children.”
With Jefferts Schori as the leader-to-be of the Episcopal Chuch, it seems that the church will move beyond gender-inclusive language to transgender-inclusive language.
Yesterday however, the Episcopal Church’s House of Bishops refused to even consider a resolution that would affirm the exclusive Lordship of Jesus Christ as ”the only name by which any person may be saved.” The Rev. Canon Eugene McDowell of the Diocese of North Carolina explained, ”This type of language was used in 1920s and 1930s to alienate the type of people who were executed. It was called the Holocaust.”
Perhaps Episcopalians would be more receptive of a resolution affirming the supreme transexuality of Jesus.
