Women are perceptive as well as intuitive.
Just as we know that peace is much more than the absence of warfare, so we know that wholeness is much more than the absence of dissent. It is as though we were engaged in a spiritual warfare, and Jesus was one of the greatest rabble-rousers of that day. The idea of bringing wholeness to the church intimates a triage of prophetic teaching and healing ministries. We are reminded of how Women of the ELCA spoke prophetically and addressed the needs of women and children living in poverty. Women of the ELCA's current work in anti-racism has that same prophetic teaching and healing tone of voice.
