From the archives

The masculine and feminine God:

“In a culture where understanding of gender is increasingly complex and fragmented and fraught, there is a need to tread with care but that we need a source that is stable, trustworthy and true. I believe that is what we have in the Bible. It reminds me that reading the Bible in community, men and women together is helpful and important. It reminds me that we don’t need to alter the Bible but in fact, if anything we need to be more biblical than we currently are.”
