This is a great reminder to make sure that we’re speaking the same language when sharing the gospel (eg. Christ as our Priest!).Still, the language differential will vary from culture to culture. For many Canadians, “King” (or Queen) is quite a positive term (lots of monarchists still around, I’m happy to say).

If they’re unseasoned, they’re awful.
