Lunchtime Learning on Zoom Mary 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.

Recycling
Almost everyone tries to recycle their waste these days to reduce the amount sent to landfill. At times, however, it is still quite hard to know what can be recycled and what cannot. Wychavon Council has an excellent guide to help us, take a look here:
A to Z recycling guide - Wychavon District Council

For those plastic items not taken in the council recycling bins, make use of the recycling at large supermarkets. There you can recycle carrier bags, vegetable bags, cereal liners & food pouches,film lids, cling film, bubble wrap and multipack wrappings.
