Hopefully this won’t offend anybody but it could be considered shocking. I personally find it very affirming and welcoming of women, the female body, and female sexuality—a very stark contrast from later ages of the church that (at times) devalued women or assigned them only a few roles while men had more. Not only does this baptismal font speak to the reality of equality between women and men that every Christian can agree with, but also that our human bodies, when such imagery is employed in worship, isn’t necessarily pagan if it’s incorporated in a respectful way where the attention isn’t focused on the creation, but how God is using it as a metaphor.
