Why does everyone cling to the masculine imagery and pronouns even though they are a mere linguistic device that has never meant that God is male?- Carol P. Christ
It's also reflective of a young person's religion or faith in that it's highly charged with sacramental imagery and with country imagery, because I was in the seminary for so many years in the country.
Once women are not excluded, I do not think any of us will give a damn what pronouns are used. That wasn't the point.
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
And we reduce almost all male-female problems by working on both the female and the male. And that usually means having both sexes take responsibility.
