In Jesus and God the Father we see the masculine side of God. In the bible there is reference to wisdom as she and that she existed before all else and would reward those who seek her above all else. Wisdom speaks od the female side of God( Holy Spirit) God is both male and female. In Jesus and God the Father we see the masculine side of God.

She wouldn't disagree with much of what you said and even includes this (and a lot more info) in her book, Ruby Slippers: How the Soul of a Women Brings her Home. I think your blog readers would appreciate it too as it continues to expand this much needed conversation in evangelical circles where it isn't happening. I've posted two comments to the cross post for this blog at Emergent Women... the link for those is here: http://emergingwomen.blogspot.com/2007/11/made-in-image-of-god-female.html I really appreciate the information in your post, but as I said on the Emergent Women post, I think it’s an overreaction to Jonalyn Fincher’s blog post on Gifted for Leadership.

It grieves me to read some of the comments on the other blog. Praise God for women like you who are living examples of being true to God and yourselves. I hope you will continue to comment and in length when necessary.

I started seminary in 98. Are you the Tammy that went up to Canada after she and her husband graduated? If so, I remember who you are. It's nice to know another Nazarene woman too. I'm glad to know you're around, and I will be visiting your blog. Tammy, I’m glad you find me, and thank you for commenting. I started seminary in 98.

So well "spoken". I remember the first time I really heard this and understood this, I felt completely empowered. I went to Seminary (your alma mater, I graduated in 1999) with very mixed emotions, having grown up in a household/church where submission/subservience of woman was the only way to view life together. When I went to Seminary, it felt against my will but with a pull towards what I knew in my heart God wanted for me, if nothing else, I believe, to discover my true sense of equality in how me made me. For that reason, and although I now serve as an ordained minister in the same church you do, my experience in Seminary was very personal. And it really helped me discover my equality in God's eyes as a female. And truly my place on this earth as a person following Christ. I had to giggle when I got to the part about Priscilla as I will never forget the day in Systematic Theology when Dr. Noble started his devotions by saying "we shall read from the Letter to the Hebrews, written by Priscilla". There was a whole "gang of boys" (you know the kind) in the back who literally gasped. I couldn't contain myself. Such affirmation for me! I'm glad I found you (and I know this comment is getting unreasonably long) and did so one night after feeling quite lonely as a woman in ministry. I wanted to find just "one Nazarene woman God" and then in a search, there you were. I have been enjoying your blog these weeks ever since. Thought I'd finally say hello. Blessings to you and those you serve... exciting times as you anticipate a new church... Thank you Shawna. So well “spoken”.
