There is a gender-neutral singular animate third-person pronoun in
English -- "they".  (A rather esoteric use of that particular word,
I'll admit, and perhaps even dangerous if used incautiously.)

In my day-to-day life, it is only in this forum that pronouns for God
would ever become an issue.  Otherwise, second person "you" or "thou",
depending on context, serves quite adequately.
