	I have two questions to ask concerning the National Council
of Churches' new "Inclusive Lectionary" in which an attempt is made
to de-sex references to God and Christ ....

	1) Does anyone in netland LIKE this lectionary ?  I don't,
	   and I don't know of anyone, of any belief/persuasion
	   who does.  I would be interested to know WHY someone
	   who likes it does like it.

	2) What do people think the effects will be ?. 
	   (I do not intend to defend the premises I am about to make
	    in this paragraph ... maybe some other time). Assuming God
	   inspired the Bible, that He will make "The Word of the Lord
	   endure forever" and that Satan would like to twist God's
	   Word .....  What is Satan up to ?.
		I think this attack on the Bible is too unsubtle!. Is
	   it possibly a smoke screen for an attack of the form
		"ALL Modern translations are bad ... If the King James
	   was good enough for Paul, it's good enough for me " ?
