ENGAGE Sunday-The Gospel of Mary Magdalene with Ray & Pat

Dr. Justin Sledge, founder of the YouTube Channel Esoterica, presents a 30-minute overview of the Gospel of Mary. Rediscovered in the mid-nineteenth century, but probably originally written in the Second centurion. Dr. Sledge presents a most approachable discussion of this notoriously complicated legend (filled with provable facts.)

Pat Dobrinska will be the master of ceremony and discussion leader. Ray Gurney, who has studied Mary Magdala since the 1980s will act as local resident expert. He argues that Mary is the conveyor of the true teachings of Jesus. It was only after Peter (first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church) and the Apostle Paul established their male-dominated leadership roles did the natural leadership of Mary decline and eventually disappear; that is until the most recent decades.

This ENGAGE presentation is a not-to-miss discussion for anyone who wants to see the most recent scholarly proofs on the status and role of women in the early Jesus movement (before it became the Christian Church).
