This thesis asks whether the quality of father-daughter relationships has a major influence on women's spirituality, especially attitudes about inclusive language. Interviews were carried out with seven clergywomen and twenty-four laywomen. The relationships described were categorized according to models of fathering developed by other researchers. Responses about gender-specific names for God were put together with father-daughter relationship data to see possible patterns. The greatest difference appeared between clergywomen and laywomen. Clergywomen were more discriminating in choosing names for the divinity; laywomen were open to a wider variety of names. Ideas were offered to help churches deal with this time when women hold conflicting attitudes about language.
