Looks like the Presby's are theologically challenged as well
Having had to fight to get a diocesan billboard removed, placed near my parish church, that proclaimed "My God is Mother: I am an Episcopalian", it is intersting to see that the Presbyterians, also meeting in convention, are just as theologically challenged! God help the mainline Protestant Churches in America!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Associated Press--
The divine Trinity -- "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" -- could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly.
Delegates to the meeting voted to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity, a step short of approving it. That means church officials can propose alternative phrasings for the Trinity, but congregations won't be required to use them.
One reason is that language limited to the Father and Son "has been used to support the idea that God is male and that men are superior to women," the panel said.
Others said the church should stick to the way God is named in the Bible and that Jesus' famous prayer is addressed to "Our Father."
