God Beyond Gender: Crafting Inclusive Liturgy
Join us for the online launch of God Beyond Gender by Mary Kells, in partnership with WATCH, on Thursday 27th November at 7.30pm.
Anglican doctrine affirms that God is beyond gender, yet its official liturgy has struggled to reflect this core belief. While society has embraced more inclusive language and attitudes, the Church’s liturgical language has lagged behind.
This practical and inspiring book offers a compelling alternative: enriching our imagery for God by incorporating images from female life alongside the traditional male ones—just as Jesus did. For anyone seeking to enrich the ways we speak about and to God, this accessible guide provides practical tools for creating gender-inclusive liturgy.
Whether you're a clergy member, liturgist, or simply someone passionate about inclusive worship, this book equips you to transform our language and draw closer to a God who transcends human categories.
