The Femininity Of The Holy Spirit & The Church

Ecclesiology and Pneumatology are supposed to be closely intertwined. The Holy Spirit animates the church, and so thoughts about the two should be closely connected. The church is envisioned as feminine in the Bible, as the bride of Jesus Christ. Wouldn't this, then, add credence to the idea that we should think of the Spirit as a feminine person in the Trinity, if it is so closely tied to the church? One problem with this idea: The Church as the Body of Christ.
