| Summary: | In recent years, feminist Christians have proposed new, inclusive liturgies for worship in several denominations. Central to these liturgies is the decision to offer new names for God: for the Persons of Father and Son, and for the triune name itself. Rarely has such fundamental change in the Christian tradition been proposed or undertaken; only Nicaea and Chalcedon are rivals for innovation and significance. What should Christians make of these proposed names, images, and liturgies? This article weighs some of the proposed triune names, discusses their proposers and detractors in light of the tradition itself, and offers some personal proposals in conclusion. |
