| Abstract | The series of four interdisciplinary sessions (including history, theology, literature, and art) investigates the issue of borders between laity and clergy in the time between the High Middle Ages and the eve of the Reformation. In the third session, some of the most important approaches to late medieval church reform are presented in view of the relation between laity and clergy. At the heart of the discussion will be the question, in which way the role of lay persons was strengthened in the concepts of John Wyclif, the Brethren of the Common Life and the reform councils of the 15th century. |
