Love the article. Christianity does have hyper-masculine overtones. I feel that I was taught very well when I was young growing up in a "spirit filled" church environment. One of the things I remember is a message where we talked about some of the names of God, like El Shaddai, which as I was taught is a feminine gender word that means breasted one. Doing a quick search on the phrase I found this from a Rabbi tailing about it, hearing it from a Jewish point of view give a depth of meaning (usually) that we don't get in the english translated faith we have today.
