What if one of the most important women in the Gospels was quietly edited out—and what if that edit changed the course of Christian history? In this talk, based on the work of Elizabeth Schrader and Diana Butler Bass, Zach Helton explores new scholarship on Mary Magdalene, revealing how her erasure shaped the church we inherited—and how reclaiming her story can help challenge oppressive, gender-based narratives. Join us for a reflection on patriarchy, possibility, and the liberating power of reimagined tradition.

Presenter: Zach Helton is an ordained minister, board-certified spiritual care counselor at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, and a writer exploring the intersection of storytelling and spirituality.
