Lunchtime Learning on ZoomMary Magdalene Wed 11 June, 12:30 – 13:30 Speaker: Canon Doug Chaplin Mary Magdalene’s greatest claim to fame in the gospels is that Jesus appointed her “apostle to the apostles” — that title is not just the result of modern feminist readings of scripture, it was one given her in the Middle Ages by none other than St Thomas Aquinas. In this session we shall root ourselves in the biblical traditions about Mary Magdalene but also take a look at some of the ways others have narrated her story, outside as well as inside the Church. Doug Chaplin will reflect on her role in the Gospels, and the ways people have co-opted her for their different agendas.

Eco Church - caring for God’s creationAlthough the dry spring may be possibly over by now, it's important to save water in our gardens and help out local wildlife. Water your plants early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation, and aim for the soil, not the leaves. Use water butts to collect rainwater when you can. Also, leave out some water for hedgehogs, birds, bees, and other insects so they stay healthy.
