Mary was a good bloke

The new female head of the Episcopal Church in the US uses some interesting communication strategies in her sermons:

"Mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation--and you and I are His children. If we're going to keep on growing into Christ images for the world around us, we're going to have to give up fear."
Apparently there is 'a long tradition of writings by women theologians that use the metaphor of Jesus as mother'. Biblical interpretations based on male mother figures parallel the confusing distortions of contemporary political speech.
