Why has the Holy Spirit been so often portrayed as “He”? Why has the language of churches, translations, and theology so often placed the Holy Spirit within a masculine context—when the very essence and nature of Spirit is fluid, nurturing, and life-bearing? This article is not an attempt to reject the masculine, but rather to restore balance. The Divine is not either/or—it is both/and. Masculine and Feminine. Form and Flow. Word and Breath.
