Sorry about the mysterious terminology! The Moravians were/are a radical Protestant sect who considered both main sexes equally divine, and so believed that in order to be fully deified, Jesus had to be feminine as well as masculine, so the side wound gave him a sacred vulva, sort of. (Also saw sex as a form of prayer, but the ways this worked got kind of rigid/surveillancy) They still exist, but are less radical now?

Thanks for the terminology clarification! Yeah, real-world religions are more deeply weird than anything a writer can make up.
As a general note for the future, such should go down in the comments section of the post they are talking about, because otherwise they will be bewilderingly separated from their context.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
You have in the past mentioned that you often decide the theme of a book by asking yourself, what is the worst possible thing I can do to my main character and how will they react. I can see that in your writing but it also seems to me that an underlying theme of most of your books is that damaged people are drawn to damaged people. Or might it be rather that damage people might be more interesting to write?
