The Davidsonian / Friday,May 6, 1983 Features MahonyLooks At Mother God By ROXANNA— GUILFORD The femininity of God God as a mother and nur turer — is an issue foreign to many Davidson students Religion professor William Mahony attempted to edu- cate about 150 students last Monday eveningduring his lecture,"God with Breasts." Mahony examined the significance of a feminine God in other cultures. Interestingly, one of the reasons given for the decreased significance ofMother God was its sacred nature. The concept of a feminine God became taboo (sa- cred, powerful) and was placed upon a pedestal. This objectification rendered the Goddess impotent, leaving only the masculine concept of God. k 11* a| ■ Using examples more familiar to his audience. ■HI: Mahony looked at the role of Mother God in the Judaic ■ tradition. Originally, not only was there Yahweh(male, judge), but there wasEl Shaddai (theGod of the Moun- tains). ElShaddai was theGod orGoddess with a womb, a compassionate, fertile deity. Mahony points out that this "God of the Mountains" could be considered the God with breasts (El Shadu), undoubtably a feminine concept. Similarly, the Christian tradition embraced at times the concept ofMother God. The1 2thcentury Cistercian order viewed Christ as a mother figure. The abbot was referred toas "mother" and other leaders were alsogiven feminine titles. Silent Realm Thecultsof the VirginMary andof Mary Magdalene Laura McDonald are similar examples of the significance of the feminine deity. Mahonypoints out that inMexico and other Latin countries,Maryoccupies the place of honor in their wor- ship. McDonaldFindsNicheInMusic In his talk Mahony never advocated the concept of a singularly feminine God, instead calling into question the concept of a singularly masculine God.

Stay in Conference

The Southern Conference has meant a lot to Davidson athletics, but now Davidson may lose oneof its longest-standing traditions. In its newly revised by-laws,the SouthernConference requires allconfer- ence members tocompete for theConferencechampionship, whichmeans that Davidson willhave to play fiveConference football gamesby 1985. At present Davidson schedulesonly two such footballgames a year. ILoCk,,THE TR\&fe&S V^, Ifthe Wildcats drop out of the SC, the College would have to join a new conference or goindependent. The ACC is out for obvious reasons. The Sun Belt andMetroconferences wouldrequireDavidson teams totravel as far away as Florida and Alabama to play games. The MEAC (including University of Richmond, William andMary)is primarily abasketball conference. A main advantage toremaining inthe SouthernConferenceistheproximity ofall member schools. Moving to anotherconference would certainly increase transportation costs, while staying in theSC wouldminimize them. But money is not theonly issueinvolved. The Trusteeshave expressed an interest inbuilding anationally competitive men'sbasketballprogram. TheSC champion receives anautomatic berth totheNCAA tournament, anddropping out of theSC would deprive Davidson of thischance at fame. Dropping out of the SC would also hurt Davidson's minor sports. These teams are establishing themselves in the Southern Conference. Minor sports benefit from the level of competition as well as having Conference opponents nearby. Most of these programs would be second rate ifDavidson became an LETTERS independent or joined a lesserconference such as the NAIA. Davidson shouldretainits SouthernConference membership andmaintain one ofits great traditions.
