Both exhortations, pray tell, were mentioned recently at a meeting of a committee that is New working to expunge sexist references from the Bible. The panel promises to remove all sexist language introduced by translators, but will not remove sexist references that reflect the patriarchal way of life in Israel in biblical times. Bruce Metzger, chairman of the Revised Standard Version Bible Committee, headed a panel meeting here at which about 100 persons discussed sexism and the Bible. Beverly Harrison, a professor at Union Theological Seminary, urged the panelists to pray to Our Mother which art in Heaven. William Holladay, a professor at Andover Newton, agreed that there was an irreducible bias in the original documents, but he said that he disagreed with Prof. Harrison. He said that even to reconcile differing points of view, he could not go along with Our Parent which art in Heaven." The panel, meeting at the Inter-churc- h Center in Manhattan, agreed that it was imperative to remove the sexist language.
