Amen is not a gender like AWoman or something like that, like Emanuel Cleaver, a practicing Methodist pastor in Missouri, did delivering the opening prayer on the first day of the 117th Congress on Sunday, January 3, 2021 … #Amen #AWoman #EmanuelCleaver
Amen is not a gender
“Amen is Latin for “so be it.” It’s not a gendered word,” tweeted Republican Rep. Guy Reschenthaler “Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives. Unbelievable.”
The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with “amen and a-women.”

I like what Wally from WayFM said January 5, 2021, saying something on the lines instead of asking for a menu, we will ask for a womenu.
In this prayer … “May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be gracious unto us, May the Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon us and give us peace. Peace on our families, peace on this land and, dare I ask oh Lord, peace even in this chamber now and evermore. We ask it in the name of the monotheistic god, Brahma and god known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and awoman.”
Brahma is a god in Hinduism.
Rep. Michael Guest mentioned this prayer was met with immediate backlash and being shocking and offensive, he also stated “Amen is an affirmative statement that expresses approval or agreement at the end of a prayer and in no way denotes gender, closing a prayer in this manner is disrespectful to all people of faith.”

This I agree is a very offensive prayer for the fact he prayed to other gods and that he was putting gender on the affirmation closing.
