The divine Trinity – "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" – could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly.
Delegates to the meeting voted to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity, a step short of approving it. That means church officials can propose experimental liturgies with alternative phrasings for the Trinity, but congregations won't be required to use them.

If I understand these national assemblies properly, the delegates often aren't even clerics (I believe the principle goes to the root of Presbyterianism). Many are just ordinary joes who get appointed to represent their district (congregation?). So this is basically the equivalent of walking into the local bar, shouting "Who wants to come up with some new names for the Trinity that won't offend the bar maids?" and getting a show of hands. The the Presbs dress it up a lot more, but since they have no claim to divine guidance besides their naked assertion of it, I don't see a difference in kind.
