Week Twenty-One - She

 

Next week our focus will be on the twenty-first film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "She."  Wendy will lead us in this casual discussion.

Why do we overlook the feminine characteristics of God?

We didn't have anything to do with our birth. We are all here because some woman somewhere gave us life. Her pain, her effort, for our life. And when a mother gives like that to a child, she is showing us what God is like. But sometimes this part of God's nature is overlooked. A lot of us are comfortable with male imagery for God. But what about female imagery for God? Is God limited to a gender? Or does God transcend and yet include what we know as male and female? Maybe if we were more aware of the feminine imagery for God we would have a better understanding of who God is and what God is like.
