by Anna Karin Hammar and Jean Sindab Into Action: A Resource for Participation in the Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women
As women we come seeking a reality to which we are called by our Savior. As women we come to affirm our life in Jesus Christ. As women we come to refute untruths, to challenge injustices, to confront oppressive structures that bind us. We, therefore, are called to declare the following truths:
One voice: IT IS NOT TRUE that women should feel and experience that being a woman is of secondary value to the community.
All: THIS IS TRUE that women are created women, the image of God, co-workers with God in caring for life, in struggling for the liberations of humanity and for a world order that respects each one’s dignity.
