Sumario:This article developed out of a symposium on gendered language for God, convened in April 2021 as part of the preparation for further initiatives in liturgical revision in the Scottish Episcopal Church. Across the Anglican Communion, revision projects have paid attention to gendered language, and especially gendered language for God, as part of a determination to include individuals whose needs and identities have been marginalised or ignored by the Church’s language of prayer. The article surveys some of these projects, focusing in some detail on the Anglican Church of New Zealand and the Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil. Both have discovered an idiom for composition which could inform other Anglican Provinces. In addition, any work of revision should take account of theological and literary considerations, as well as hearing directly from those it seeks to include. The survey ends by setting out key questions for future revisers, rather than proposing solutions.
