50 Ways to Say Word

50, count 'em, 50 earnest scholars are hard at it, re-translating the Bible to be sure it includes feminist language.

According to Ananova, the translation is being overseen by the German Evangelical Church:

The term disciple is to be changed to "disciples and disciplesses" and forms of address such as Lord or Our Father are to be omitted.

(How do you pronouce "disciplesses", anyway?)

Hey, maybe in this version Jesus will get to be a girl!
