Nicole wrote a fascinating blog about communion season in Scotland. She used two collections of ms communion sermons to explore some of the practices of communion season, which often involved multiple sermons over a two week period. I had no idea!

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.

Please share - I’ve got a great postdoc project I’d love to undertake, on the role of hymns in the British Atlantic world of C17 and 18, specifically in contexts of mission, colonialism, slavery, and abolition. I’m looking for a prospective supervisor/institution - thanks

I enjoyed chairing Hannah's lecture yesterday! 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! #EarlyModern #17thC

It is so exciting to share this cfp publicly (as it has, of course, been in the works for a while). It should be a great conference! Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
