The Church of England is debating the non-binary nature of God 
I wonder if I would have loved Them better 
If They'd not tried so hard to be male 
Against Their better Nature?
- Who, of course, had to play the role of Mother in order to find some balance.

Will a change in language bring God down to Earth 
To become more integrated with the rest of us?
More ecosystem than Mother,
More spark of life than Father;
A second coming not a Son at all?

And when that happens, I thought,
Antonio Guterres will no longer need to speak of a war on nature 
The Climate Change Committee will not report on failed government targets
All our prayers will be answered 
By a more-than-human God:

Our power 
Who art on Earth 
Hallowed be our aims 
Our lands be loved
Nature's goods be valued
In practice as they are in theory. 
Give us this day our locally produced and ethical food, 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
As we forgive those who artificially create the offence of trespass by claiming ownership of land which is, in truth, our shared inheritance and responsibility, belonging to no individual.
Lead us not into overconsumption, 
But deliver us from reliance on fossil fuels, 
For ours is this planet, the power and the glory, 
For now and for ever (if we make the necessary changes and stop mass extinction)
Amen.
