The Daily PollTHE CHURCH OF England has today said it is is considering alternatives to referring to God as “he” after priests asked to be allowed to use gender-neutral terms instead.
The Church said it would launch a new project on the matter in the spring to decide whether to propose changes or not.
This morning we want to know if you ever pray?
So, regardless of your religious persuasion or what you consider a prayer to be, is it something you do?

Does praying for a parking spot count ‘_’
I don’t see what talking to myself will achieve
@Kieran Fitzgerald: could be self soothing maybe?
@Joe Kennedy: More self deluding than anything else
@Brendan Gordon: depends what you’re saying I assume Brendie?!
Yer man Enoch gonna burst a blood vessel at this one
@JMcB: Excellent!! Lol
Silently I often pray for my manager to go away!!!!
From a previous article this morn g who do you pray to now?
He, Them, they, Those?
Only on a plane when there’s turbulence
Not to any particular deity, but sometimes kind of mantras in my own head to try to visualise/manifest things into happening.
That would be an ecumenical matter.
Would you ever grow up!!
If praying worked all the hospitals would close down tomorrow
Enough with this clerical nonsense that comes from a bunch of hysterical “virgins”
@Liam Ó hAodha: exactly.
Like Saint Anthony prayers, the patron saint of looking again and harder is all that is.
@Liam Ó hAodha: religion brings solace to a lot of people in tough times, i have seen it first hand in my own job. Just because you don’t share their belief doesn’t make it right to belittle them or tell them to grow up. Sure the actions of the heirarchy of the catholic church are totally reprehensible on many issues, but it isn’t the fault of the everyday person that may find praying a comfort to them in times if adversity.
@A$AP ETH: Well said
@A$AP ETH: Very true
Every dam day !!!
Yes I do pray, furthermore, what’s all the fuss about looking for a gender neutral word. Why even consider one, the world has gone mad when even the clergy want God to be gender neutral. I would have considered that the words God or Lord being prayed to by the countless religions worldwide of which some regard them as female deities was enough to satisfy those gender confused clerics. Political gender correctness insanity.
O Good Jaysis, help us !
What about the Non Created Creator God creating Adan and Eve ???
What pronouns will the woke mafia try and force on us for those two?
Am a member of the Anglican church and if they go ahead with this utter nonsense I’m out… gone! Sick of it.
I am praying that Ireland beat the French football team (Mbappé and all) in March. How else are we going to succeed ?
I voted yes, but not necessarily to the Christian God. The Christian God has shown me no mercy and lots of guilt.
have your say
