Summary

​Do you know the difference between a church and a chapel? A bishop and an archbishop? An abbey and an abbess? 


In this episode of Gone Medieval, Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by co-host Matt Lewis to chat all things churches. They will demystify church hierarchy, walk you through the basics of architecture, and answer questions you sent in about all that religious jargon that medievalists are constantly throwing around. 


This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.
