ABSTRACT
The Feminine, be it an essential human dimension or a particular human value, occurs in different ways to different people. In terms of specifically Christian conversion, one significant aspect of ‘re-membering’ the human psyche is the recovery of Christian history, especially in its origins. The liberation of the Feminine is an expansion within history toward a more hopeful and whole humanity. Conversion and the Feminine, in this present context, comes to mean, in practice, conversion to the Feminine. Conversion to the Feminine, then, includes at least these four interrelated levels of further openness: the religious, the intellectual, the moral, the psychological. Any continuing religious conversion must be free to explore the whole range of sexual symbolism if our experience of the Holy Mystery is to be genuine. A willingness to remember the past in the collapse of the patriarchal present, and to accept that memory as a grace and an invitation amounts to a psychological.
