Have been pondering this one. I know its a bit of a theological minefield, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts? Can God be our heavenly mother? Do we need a heavenly mother? What is the role of the Holy Spirit? (apparently denoted in the feminine gender in the Hebrew... ) talk to me wise people!
This is where some of what I think gets a public audience.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
... thats a kinda of female thing... ie the "her" bit...
also there is a lot about God and breasts, in the best possible way, and gathering people to them - its interesting searching in the bible for breasts :-)
