Couples getting married will be asked if they want to be called ‘husband and wife’ under new woke Church guidelines.<\/p>\n

The guidance also advises preachers to share their pronouns with congregation members ‘to create a safe space for people to be themselves.’<\/p>\n
According to the guide ministers can ‘subconsciously use phrases that may be misinterpreted as us favouring one sex over another.’<\/p>\n
Instead they should use ‘gender-neutral language’, opting for words such as ‘folks, teammates, friends, colleagues, or simply people’.<\/p>\n
