In this post, the developer/programmer was a she and also a metaphor for God (compare Mt 23:37), not quite the same as saying God is a she.
In general I think God is bigger than any image we can have of God so, if referring to GOD, I lean toward gender neutral language. I’m comfortable with my imperfect metaphors for God being male or female. In particular, I favor the the common Bible metaphors of Father (male), Son (male), Spirit or Breath (female in the Greek), and Wisdom (female in the Greek). Because Jesus is such a strong male image, I tend to follow the Greek and speak of the Holy Spirit as female, but I’m not particularly attached.

God is with you.
Lucas

“God the Father and God the Son”?
“He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father”? another metaphor?

]]> Comment on An Ecclesiastical Peculiar by Stephen Cook http://dacalu.wordpress.com/about/#comment-994 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 00:21:58 +0000 #comment-994 Lucas:
I enjoyed browsing your blog and reading excerpts of your sermons. I plan to eventually spend more time in your sermon “Archives” and perhaps put links on my website (projectworldview.org) to selected ones. My daughter Keziah worked with you at Harvard and has repeatedly told me I should contact you–thus this communication. I invite you to check out the Project Worldview website. After years of pretty much doing my own thing in maintaining and expanding it, I’m finally seeking input from others and considering partnering with other organizations and individuals. Some of this is driven by ideas for future development that definitely require more than my own talents. Given your background and religious beliefs (seems you both parallel and complement me in this regard–at least my daughter thinks so), you’ve landed on my list of those I’m soliciting input from. I’m especially interested in your reaction to the worldview characterization and analysis structure on the website (from the home page, click on either “Go Directly To the Reality Marketplace Map” or “Wiki Worldview Themes”). Note: If there are sermons that you feel deserve a link on webpages of particular worldview themes there, please let me know!) If you explore the website more, you’ll find the blog I write: Worldview Watch, which often gets into issues at the interface of science and religion. And given your astrobiology and evolutionary biology interest, you might enjoy my recent chapter contributions (to books published by Springer Science): “SETI: Assessing Imaginative Proposals” and “Imagining a Theory of Everything for Adaptive Systems”. To find them, from the homepage click on “Links to Scholarly Papers Related to Worldviews”. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best, Steve
PS: Living in New Mexico I feel like we’re neighbors!

Thanks for putting it together. I’m going to share it with the clergy in Rhode Island so that they have it available when they meet with godparents prior to baptism.
