[Faith-talk] various comments

[Ericka]

Thank you for your kind words Sandra and I agree with you on all aspects. Well I haven't read the new and IV with some of the gender change. I probably would be bugged about it. The new RSV does not mess with gender which I am happy for. That's what our church uses.
