When we do not fully and equally represent the masculine and the feminine in church and civic leadership, we cannot represent the human experience or Jesus.

About This Quote

When we do not fully and equally represent the masculine and the feminine in church and civic leadership, we cannot represent the human experience or Jesus. When we are given political power, but do not represent the full range of human experience, we do not represent our country’s values or its people. We cannot claim to be representative of Jesus when we fail to fully embody his message.
