"“Lutheran Visionaries: The Public Square and the Church”" In
Women with 2020 Vision: American Theologians on the Voice, Vote, and Vision of Women. ed. Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner. Minneapolis: Fortress Press 2020
Challenging and changing the effects of racism and sexism because of faith takes the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America into the public square to to address difficult social, political, and economic problems. Yet the problems of racism and sexism are within the ELCA, too. Lutheran women of color serve as visionaries in the public square and in the church, cultivating the love of neighbor and God’s ongoing reformation of the church.
