After the Anglican (Hong Kong, then US, now even England) ordination of women to
the priesthood began in the '80s, there was (and still is) a lot of discussion
on the "acceptable" usage when addressing a priest who is female. There is
(currently) no consenus on the best term. I have heard women addressed as
Father Smith (nost often)
Mother Smith (less often)

Interestingly enough, I guess Judson wouldn't have problems with the latter, as
the prohibition seemed to only apply to the word "Father".
