A Reformed Monthly 75th Year of Publication | September 14, 2020 | No. 3116 $5.00 News. Clues. Kingdom Views. WHEN WOMEN LEAD In health and politics, women leaders are excelling. What about in our churches? | Meghan Kort IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PANDEMIC, GOVERNMENTS HAD TO decide: who will speak for us? In 10 key locations across Canada, women serving as public heath officers have taken on those increas- ingly public roles. “The women we’re seeing on the national stage during the pan- demic are being celebrated for both their compassion and their calm under pressure,” write Andrea Gunraj and Jessica Howard from the Canadian Women’s Foundation. Their leadership comes, at times, through impartial statistical analysis, at other times through tears, a sense of humour or a motherly sternness. Chrystia Freeland’s recent appointment to Finance Minister after successfully negotiating NAFTA is yet another example of a Canadi- an woman excelling at the forefront of crisis management. Globally, research shows that women have been especially effective in leader- ship during the pandemic. Countries led by women have tended to shut down more quickly and experience fewer deaths.

Editors' Preface: Care Is a Defiant
CAPACIOUS 2019–2020 | Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 2 (1–2) EDITORS’ PREFACE: CARE IS A DEFIANT ACT i. Remembering Forward Gregory J.
