{In the Name of the Father, and the Son....}

[Redbook7:211-212][19900812:2358]{In the Name of the Father, and the Son....}[11th August 1990]

I find that not only is the name of ‘Jesus’[,] and ‘Christ’[,] increasingly inappropriate when used in the ways and contexts in which church doctrine and custom suggest it should be used – resonating with a quality of inappropriateness, which casts doubt, not* on the validity of the Archetypal Degree of +C†I~, but on that of Christianity itself;** but also *** the title ‘God’, implying God the Father, has become to some extent similarly inappropriate, and a barrier to communication: because religious belief has become so much regarded as a matter of personal and private freedom that any mention of God is now a conversation-stopper.****
