Is God a man or woman?
We asked Nigerian Christians this interesting question. Check out their answers.




A church in Sweden, headed by a woman, is calling people to see God as gender-neutral.

Express reports that The Church of Sweden’s priests have been banned from referring to the divine being with masculine words like “he” or “the Lord.”
Is God a man or woman?
Instead, they have been encouraged to use “God” or other gender-neutral options “in the name of God and the Holy Trinity” during services.
Speaking with The Telegraph, Church of Sweden spokesperson Sofija Pedersen Videke said: “We talk about Jesus Christ, but in a few places we have changed it to say ‘God’ instead of ‘he’. A wide majority of people decided on the book.”
The head of the church, Archbishop Antje Jackelen, defended this  decision saying: “Theologically, for instance, we know that God is beyond our gender determinations, God is not human.”




Let's bring it home

Mariam Nabatanzi Babirye is a 37 year old woman with 38 children. She lives in Kabimbiri village, Mukono District. Narrating her story to Uganda’s Daily Monitor she said that she was married off to her then forty year old husband at age 12 after she escaped death in 1993. “I did not know I was being married off. People came home and brought things for my father. When time came for them to leave, I thought I was escorting my aunt but when I got there, she gave me away to the man.” She added that her husband was polygamous and abusive. She gave birth to her first set of twins in 1994 when at age 14. Two years later, she gave birth to triplets and a year and seven months after that added a set of quadruplets.
