The Church of England is considering what language and pronouns should be used to refer to God. Know more:
The church’s General Synod has, however, clarified that it will not abolish or substantially revise any of the currently authorized liturgies.
Historically, Christian tradition has recognized many pronouns for God, including “he/him,” “she/her” and “they/them.” Thomas Aquinas, an influential 13th-century Catholic theologian, asserted that individuals can talk about God in ways that are true but always inadequate.

A mother hen gathering her chicks is an analogy for God in the Gospel of Matthew.
Elsewhere in Scripture, God has no gender. God appears to Moses in the burning bush in Exodus 3, defying all gender categories.
