The Gospel of Mary with Reverend Paula Mekdeci, S.E.E. Week 2017
September 18, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - September 21, 2017 @ 9:00 pm
(Approved elective) When Rev. Paula taught this class in spring of 2017, students quickly found themselves exploring not just a gospel, but the early church fathers’ agenda to exclude women from the leadership of the Christian church. Why was Mary called “The Apostle to the Apostles?” You will learn about Mary’s deeper relationship and partnership with Jesus, and how she was a wise and powerful spiritual leader in her own right.
