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.

I have read your Sharing Knife series more than 20 times, and it has helped me through some of the darkest times of my life. I served for 4 years in the USMC, then nursing school for 4 years. I've been an ER RN for 10 years. I was just accepted at university for my Psychiatric Nurse Practicioner degree. When I can finally build a hospital, may please name the library in your honor? Dag and Fawn have kept me alive. TY
