“kin-dom” of God

"One of the things that I have long appreciated about this church is our commitment to inclusive and non-patriarchal language. But we still have a little work to do in the realm of the kingdom. I don't know if any of you listen closely to me during prayer time, but during the prayer that Jesus taught us, I don't say "thy Kingdom come." I pray, "thy kin-dom come." And I will make a suggestion publicly that the spiritual life team consider putting that in as a parenthetical alternative, in keeping with our commitment on inclusive language. The term, "kin-dom of God," was an alternative phrasing introduced by liberation theologian Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz as being more inclusive and less hierarchical, and my mentoring field education pastor Ashlee Wiest-Laird introduced me to it."

''Note**Aside from the issues regarding "correcting" Jesus's prayer, I guess with inclusive languaphiles King Tamar of Georgia wouldn't have been allowed to be called King, shame. Oh wait this explains it...''

"Now, Cynthia Bourgeault teaches contemplative practices, and in The Wisdom Jesus, she introduces the idea of Jesus as a teacher in the wisdom tradition, a moshel moshelim. That shifts our perspective or lens that his teaching was toward seeking wisdom and inner transformation rather than the more commonly taught perspective of preaching salvation. "

**I guess that shifts christian lens to be gnostics?
