Check out this recording for Hannah's fantastic analysis of a range of lay preachers in the 16th and 18th centuries.
We also had an engaging discussion about how these sermons challenge definitions of sermons and the precarity of those who aspired to join the ministry.

She explored a wide range of lay preachers from the 16th and 17th centuries. And we discussed how these sermons challenge conventional definitions of the genre of sermons. It was a great event!
