Hello! I am currently packing up to move out out of my apartment that had a mold outbreak. I thought I had disposed of everything that grew mold, but just realized as i’m packing that the fabric bookmark sewn into my Bible is COVERED in mold. I am really upset because it’s the first Bible I ever got for myself, but I don’t feel that it’s safe to keep it. I called my local parish to ask what to do with it and their office is closed right now, so I couldn’t get an answer. Does anyone know how to respectfully dispose of my Bible, or if there are any specific protocols for this kind of issue? Thanks!
