Paternalizing by Raymond A. Foss
Father, Son, Holy Ghost, Three Guys, for many, three white guys, sitting in judgment, patriarchs with beards, flowing beards, without a recognition an understanding, of the limits of our vocabulary maleness of the nomenclature, the naming of God missing the richness of the creator, the sustainer, the redeemer, in the language of the maleness of our names for God God is, not merely Father, a single sexual organism, for if God was, why would there be man and woman both in the image of God We are so far from God we cannot understand how to describe God We need three images of God; but that is too limiting, in the face of the vastness, the unimaginable vastness of God
