Who downgraded God??  

Add comments Posted by Lauren



Just an observation and question. When I was at Sunday School 35 - 40 years ago (my how time flies...) God had a capital letter (still does) and so did His works and His son. He always assumed capital proportions.

Now God and his works and his son have undergone a downgrade. In my blogs and assignments I still use Capital H - and feel hopelessly old-fashioned compared with the little h of almost everyone else.

When was he down-sized? Why?

    Hi Lauren,

    This doesn't give a history, but it gives reasons why not to capitalise.

    Hi Lauren,
    Like you, I have observed the frequent omission of a capital "H". I often feel a little irritated by it, and this is rather unreasonable of me I guess, especially having read the interesting website/comments suggested by the last contributer!
    One day I may mention to someone to PLEASE use capitals when printing out songs on our NBC overhead sheets.
