In Latin, God is sui generis or of his own kind. In terms of gender and sexuality, if God were either really "he" or "she" or "he and she," such a god would merely be part of this larger group of sexual or gendered beings. Although people may choose to imagine God as "he," God is beyond he-ness and she-ness, just as God is beyond every other category we can imagine."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderTheologyChristianWorshipUnspeakableIntercultural and contextual theologiesChristian denominationsDenominations in World ChristianityPractical theology and theological educationLiturgy, spiritual formationArticle
