Letter: God transcends sexual gender
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sir: I was interested to read the "Another View" by John Doyle (29 February).
I am sorry the author has been called so many rude names (of which radical feminist is probably the rudest) because he has chosen to cast a woman in the role of God in the York mystery plays. Though perhaps not traditional, I cannot see any logical or theological objections to such casting: surely God transcends gender, being at the same time both male and female, and neither. As such, He (to use the word in its loosest sense) can be equally appropriately portrayed by actors of either gender (or both or neither, for that matter) and in setting artificial boundaries we are trying to limit God Himself.
Yours faithfully
