This is actually a rather interesting development. One of the writers of the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (which is claimed to be a primary source for Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code") suggested that the Holy Grail that was claimed to have been used to catch Jesus' blood, is actually a reference to Mary Magdalene's womb and the baby she and Jesus supposedly created is the "blood".
Given the current level of hyperbole, hysteria and controversy surrounding "The Da Vinci Code", the Presbyterian Church make back away from this idea.

Sounds like something from the barn wall in Animal Farm.

At some Presbyterian churches the Holy Trinity -- "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" -- will be out. "Mother, Child and Womb" is in. If they're not interested in how Jesus portrayed God, and the Paraclete, in the Scriptures, then they are just the newest branch of "The Church of What's Happening Now", and have declared themselves irrelevant to Christianity.

Uhh, if you won't call it what the bible calls it, then you are altering the teaching of the scriptures.
It appears the Presbyterian Church is running off the cliff on the liberal end of the spectrum.

OH!!! That's what it is! All this time I have been reading it dyslexically as CPUSA. I thought it was the Commies pretending like they got Religion.Actually, you had it right. They are Commies pretending to be religious.

"Mother, Child, and WOmb."
The Holy Spirit is not a uterus. Not only is that a ridiculous description of the Trinity, but it comes pretty close to blasphemy, if you ask me.

How anti-christian of them. Fits nicely with their women bishops.

In their attempt to emulate our Lord, they are misguided and erode (in my opinion) the true word and teachings of Christ. More appropriately "emasculate". You are right, Jesus was bold and tough. Not the smarmy stuff coming out of the Episcopal and Presbyterian sects.

I'm so glad I'm not a Presbyterian any more. PCUSA has more in common with CPUSA that it does with Christianity.

I think the fact that they are trying to change OUR religious institutions, rather than creating their very own religion - shows that they have evil intent. Their purpose is to DESTROY - not to amend. Satan is laughing right now.I used to think statements like this bordered on conspiracy theory craziness - BUT, when I hear stories like this, I have to wonder if maybe there IS a satanic force at work behind the scenes. This story is so bizarre - it's almost surrealistic. Do these people know what they are doing? Maybe they do.......
