From the website: "standing firmly within the Christian tradition in order to re-image the divine by claiming her feminine persona"

Hm. I hadn't realized that the "feminine persona" of the divine was "firmly within the Christian tradition."

Y'know, that website's theology tracks very well with that of the Da Vinci Code, eh?

I couldn't bring myself to watch the video, though. My stomach is only so strong...

Maybe "Ichabod" would be a better name than "Ebenezer"

Big deal women wanting to be closer to God.

Why would you object to something so harmless?

And Spong would run theological circles around your addled mind.

I grew up and was confirmed in the Lutheran church, though I attend a "non-denominational" church now. Luther would speak of this church/movement in the harshest manner, as they have plainly disowned the God of the Bible. Good grief, did I actually catch a glimpse of something in the video that looked very much like a Venus statue (not the Greco-Roman kind, but more akin to what was made 10,000+ years ago)?

Proof that not everything that says its Christian is Christian.

Well, we can be reasonably sure that Jesus had an X chromosome. About the Y, the picture is a bit murky.

I think I heard the pastor say something like "the incarnate Sophia"...

also, GFT, you're right, there's nothing wrong with women trying to connect to God, but they've gone beyond that.

From the video, it seems like Ebenezer is drifting dangerously close to worshiping someone other than God.... which is as far from "harmless" as a group of people can get.
