Language Matters
An introduction to the Inclusive
Language Policy of the Diocese of Adelaide
The aim of this
leaflet is to encourage and assist the use of gender inclusive
language in
all aspects of diocesan
and parish life.
Language and technology
are constantly evolving. Hence there is a continuing need to
explore new ways of
communicating the gospel effectively and to ensure that the
language of the church
is clear, accessible, courteous and appropriate to the occasion
and the participants.
The use of inclusive language will assist with this endeavour.
The leaflet gives an
introduction to the Inclusive Language Policy of the Anglican
Diocese of Adelaide
together with suggestions on relevant strategies for parishes and
information on helpful
resources. It has been prepared at the request of Diocesan
Council by the Women’s
Ministry Task Group. |
