What a great time - great to have you guys down under!
At last week's Reformation Research Forum at Moore Theological College, Sydney. Roundtable discussion on current trends and opportunities in Reformation and post-Reformation studies, with Mark Earngey, Mark Thompson, Stephen Tong, and Ashley Null.
Esther Counsell and I co-edited a volume for @ManchesterUP that came out last year, but we hadn't seen each other in person since our Cambridge days back in 2019. Delightful to catch up in Sydney and take a long overdue photo together.
Very much looking forward to spending a couple of weeks at Moore Theological College in Sydney next month, and especially to participating in this day conference.
