Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, Adorable One. According to Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, so begins the prayer that Jesus taught us. Not only was Ms. Eddy's use of "Father-Mother" well ahead of 19th-century gender politics, but, well, what can one say about "Adorable"? It is adorable. It gives me new affection for the First Church of Christ, Scientist half a block from where my family goes to Mass.
