Alternative Trinity

Taranto has been having great fun with the Presby's attempts to find gender-inclusive language for the Holy Trinity:

"Mother, Child and Womb"? That's even more sexist than the old patriarchal Trinity. We suspect God will be quite angry at the suggestion that she is no more than an Incubator. It ought to be "Woman, Fetus and Body."

"Rock, Redeemer, Friend" is much better, and it's easy to remember. Rock crushes Redeemer, Redeemer cuts Friend, Friend covers Rock.

Personally, given the Presby's attitude about Israel (fortunately now somewhat modified), I'd go with "Da Jooz Parent, Da Joo, and Da Jooz Ghost."
