“The British Methodist Church has issued guidance prohibiting the use of the terms ‘husband’ and ‘wife’: In England, Adam is now ‘Parent 1’ and Eve is ‘Parent 2.’

“The Methodist Church in Great Britain this month released a Guide to Inclusive Language, which recommends avoiding the use of gendered terms such as “husband” and “wife” because they supposedly suggest something that “is not the reality for many people.”

The words “parent”, “partner”, “guardian” were suggested as suitable alternatives.
“We are proud of our inclusive language leadership,” a church spokesman said. − This helps the church have a conversation without making assumptions or unintentionally upsetting. Some find this particularly helpful when communicating with those whose life experiences may be different from their own.”

Sorry but Husband and Wife are just fine for titles. Like Boy, Girl, Man, Woman, etc etc…

Sick churches and very corrupted…
