Divine Pronouns...

It seems that this week the press and web are full of people discussing whether or not is is OK to refer to God using feminine language. 

Firstly, this is hardly new.  Such debates have gone on for as long as people have worshipped God.

Secondly, any half decent reading of Scripture will reveal metaphors for God that are "animal, vegetable and mineral" including feminine ones.

Thirdly, last Sunday I happened to use two feminine metaphors - Midwife and Mother - drawn from the OT as part of my reflections.  So please keep up, press and web, this is old news for us!!
