What is the Anglican and Episcopalian basis for viewing the Trinity as a family that should contain a feminine element?

A recent question on Christianity Stack (about monotheism and the Trinity) suggested that since Christians present the Trinity as a “family” it must contain a feminine element. This came as news to me, so I started to look into it. [Gender of God (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_God) I would like to find out what various Christian denominations have to say on this subject. My first question is directed at the Anglican/Episcopal Church which is in the process of revising its 1979 prayer book to remove any reference to God by masculine pronouns. Of greater significance to me is what the Bible has to say about this and so I would welcome any biblical support for removing the masculine element from the person of God and introducing a feminine element within the Godhead. I have now edited this question to make it clear that I am looking for the views of the Anglican and Episcopalian communities. This question is open to input from any member of the community who can provide additional information.
