From The Washington Post-
After more than a week of debate among church
leaders about whether God should be referred to by male pronouns — and
about the numerous other issues that come up when writing a prayer book —
the Episcopal Church has decided to revise the 1979 Book of Common
Prayer that Episcopalian worshipers hold dear.
The question now is when it will happen.
At
the denomination’s triennial conference, which concluded in Austin last
week, leaders considered a plan that would have led to a new prayer
book in 2030. They voted it down.
“There’s no
timeline for it,” said the Very Rev. Samuel Candler, chair of the
committee on prayer book revision. “There’s no A-B-C-D plan. The plan is
to put a joint task force together now that will work on how we do it.
They’ll be gathering liturgies and working in dioceses and assembling
texts. I think we are going forward.”
