Joan D. Chittister Quotes

The Symbolic Evidence Of Women's Invisibility In The Human Race Is Most Clear Perhaps In Her Suppression, Her Camouflage, Her Negation Even In Language. Women Are Subsumed, Excised, Erased By Male Pronouns, By Male Terminology, By Male Prayers About Brotherhood And Brethren, Even And Always By Exclusively Male Images Of God. The Tradition That Will Call God Spirit, Rock, Key Door, Wind, And Bird Will Never Ever Call God Mother. So Much For The Creative Womb Of God; So Much For "I Am Who Am." So Much For "Let Us Make Human Beings In Our Own Image, Male And Female, Let Us Make Them." What Kind Of Spirituality Is That? To Take The Position That Using Two Pronouns For The Human Race Is Not Important In A Culture That Has Thirty Words For Car, Multiple Words For Flowers, And Dozens Of Words For Dog Breeds Is To Say That Women Are Not Important.
