Just use "thou" instead of "man"???

There is a growing body of experience among those Episcopal churches who have NOT modernized thier language, using King James language in services-- growing at a fantastic rate. If the material itself is of value and genuine, the words enhance it, it seems. The formal language still creates a mood nothing else can match.

Even Hebrew came back into daily usage eventually. *G*
