Mary a Christian in Rome who treated Paul with especial kindness|
A Christian at Rome who treated Paul the Apostle with special kindness (Rom. 16:6). |
|
In addition to Biblical Mary's such as Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Lazarus?'s sister, a 'Mary' is mentioned in Romans 16:6. She is said to have treated Paul the Apostle with special kindness, and to have "laboured much among" the Roman Church. |

Initial text from Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897 -- Please update as needed Is this going to be ever expanded ? The name is quite silly. --Taw This was a section in the article that also had the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, I thought it best to give those two their own articles, but what to do with this Mary? --SimonP? |
|
Although it has been conjectured that she is the same person as the mother of John Mark, this is generally considered to be unproven. |

I think this should just be removed. I'm sure there is already what little info this article has to offer on the Virgin Mary section. --Jzcool |

Its a different Mary, she was important enough to be included in Christian Encyclopedias so she should stay. The bizzare name of the article is the problem. Perhaps 'Mary of Rom. 16:6' would be better? --SimonP? If it is going to be expanded to more than 1 line maybe. If there is no other info about her, then this article makes no sense. --Taw Merge this article into the main Mary page, as a subheading? It might not be important enough to stand as its own article, but the information needs to be somewhere. -- dreamyshade Subheading seems right. --Taw |

This encyclopaedia entry title is ridiculous and silly. Is someone claiming that this person is so imporant that eventually an entire article will be written on her? Of course not. Stop writing new entries for such small things. This should be deleted, and the information moved to some other entry where it actually would be relevent. |

I agree with the guy above. This is nothing more than a dictionary entry and abuses the purpose of Wikipedia. Unless substantial info can be added, we should delete it. --Jzcool |
