This is heavily ingrained but I believe it is proper to change this custom as a matter of preparing our church for women in priesthood, & female inclusion in the whole episcopacy, as well being a matter of doing what Jesus specifically taught:  

Matt 23:9 9And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

I was called to priesthood in my teens and one of the things I was often asked, "Well, what would they even call you, Father, Mother?"  After prayer, I realized the best title for any priest is to call him/her what they are ordained, that is "Priest".   I was called to ordained Priesthood & it is the one thing our leaders keep telling me God has no capacity to make happen.  I know this is a sinful & sexist statement & belief, on their part.  However, more than anything, God willing, when I am ordained a priest someday, all I really want, as a title, is Priest Nora, or just use my first name like many priests I know.

Thanks Bill for writing this
