"...better served by investment in human development..."
investment in human development rightly calls for updating consciousness beyond misinformed ancient memes: for example, notwithstanding ingrained male theology/ politics, we might consider: if God the Holy Spirit is authentic as male, why not also as female? If we can authentically pray 'God The Father/Son/Holy Spirit', why not also 'God The Mother/Daughter/Holy Spirit'?
Surely, God The Holy Spirit is equally authentic, Female as (S)he is Male. (?)
