In my mind that is what she is doing.
I would also think of her as an evangelist.
My point in posting this is, that there is an Apostolic "application" of scripture (like a bandage or poultice for healing), that contains the teachings of Christ... the ones "not covered directly" by scripture itself. No other source aside from "The Church" contains that. She is the repository of Christ's choosing.
Lose sight of that and one can study the scripture right out of Christianity. Those groups that have sprung up over the last 150 years in North America do not contain these teachings. They simply had no other choice. Do your best with what you have... They often wind up with incorrect doctrine and teaching, through no real fault of their own. Thanks be to God that the poultice works anyway, strong as it is. But many are confounded and walk away... still seeking "CHRISTS TRUTHS".
Because of the loss of these Apostolic teachings in the western "christian" culture, there is a large disconnection between what was then (with Christ teaching on earth) and what is now.
I care not for the teachings that come from elsewhere. Give me the Apostolic teachings, the teachings that come from Christ God. I hunger.
This is, and always has been, a place for Apostolic Christian Theology.
There are places for other theologies too. But they should not be mixed, they become diluted from what they are.
Forgive me...
