I’m struggling with developing a shorthand term to use to specifically denote the Politically Correct language we use in our church contexts. The term “Politically Correct” remains technically correct, but in common usage it means “the language that liberals make us use”.
I’m striving to return to the root meaning of “Politically Correct”, which is really a reflection of Orwellian ‘right speak’; the understanding that you need to disengage your mind and ‘toe the party line’ or submit to the mind of the masses lest you be judged.
My first foray into this struggle coined “Churchianity Correct”, or “CC”. I’m not sure I like it, but when I wrote it my mental alternative was “Spiritually Correct” or “SC”. This flows better but seems mentally fuzzy as “Spiritual” is such a broad term. I thought of using “Christianity” instead but that’s also a very broad term that didn’t flow; now I’m wondering if “Christian” would work…
Thoughts?
