Female Jesus

When searching for information about Female Jesus I came across this book. Sounds like a good bedtime read, no?

Jesus Is Female
Moravians and Radical Religion in Early America
Aaron Spencer Fogleman

Apparently this group of individuals, the Moravians, allowed women to hold the same roles in the church that men do, and they also believed that Jesus was female. This basically pissed off the Protestant establishment and havoc was the result. Interested in more? You can order the book.

Some feel that just representing Jesus as a female is wrong. Here Jesus is shown on a cross wearing booty shorts and is topless exposing her rack. From what I understand in Australia...... (.au right?)

"A local theatre company had angered Christians in the lead-up to Easter by portraying Jesus as a semi-naked woman on the cross. Happy Dagger Theatre’s production of The York Crucifixion tells the story of the four soldiers who crucify Christ, but female actor Renee McIntosh has been cast in the role of Jesus." (From http://blogs.thewest.com.au/)

I never knew that people would get all bent out of shape by giving JC inside parts instead of outside ones. I suppose tradition resists change, and religion is tradition. Change is progressive, so I ask, what has the church done that is progressive lately?
