Misleading thread title aside (the Church never said God is "genderqueer"), I've believed this for a long time.  A transcendent, omnipotent god has no use for sex or gender and to emphasize God's supposed "male-ness" is to miss the point entirely.  I have always used male pronouns when referring to God for discussion purposes, but to ascribe a literal, physical gender to God is limiting and innapropriately kataphatic (for lack of a more appropriate term).

This decision is just stupid and represents the failings of the Church of Sweden, which my great-great grandmother was a proud member of. She would be ashamed of her church.

Half the clergy are imams.
