(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’ exclusion of 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 teacher in her own right.
