Description
Summary:The Episcopal Church has produced liturgies that use expansive and inclusive language since 1985 and has continued to do so through the last General Convention in 2018. This article examines the expansive language version of three of the Rite II Eucharistic Prayers that the 2018 Convention authorized. Part I examines that text by describing its revisions as clearly as possible while placing it in the context of the previously authorized expansive language rites. Part II evaluates these revisions theologically and liturgically and then suggests what principles might best guide those charged with liturgical revision in the future.
