- <p> A MORE MATERNAL GOD
- </p>
- <p> God is not yet Our Mother who art in heaven. But it is just
- fine to call upon Her/Him as "Mother and Father." So decided a
- legislative General Conference in Louisville last week as it
- endorsed a Book of Worship with innovative options for
- America's 8.9 million United Methodists. The most startling new
- prayer, unearthed from the 11th century writings of St. Anselm,
- is addressed to Jesus: ". . . In truth, Lord, you are my
- Mother."
