Laity as Co-Creators of the Franciscan Tradition:
Finding Faith as a Lay Franciscan
with Darleen Pryds, PhD
Lay Franciscans can often be forgotten, but they are actually the majority of Franciscan practitioners. We will explore the rich variety of ways in which laity have followed the Franciscan Charism from its inception.
Darleen Pryds has been studying Franciscan laity for over three decades. Her particular contribution to Franciscan studies has been to analyze the tradition of lay preaching as a form of “Somatic Theology” or theology that is expressed through lived experience. You can find her research in many articles and in three books, The King Embodies the Word: Robert d’Anjou and the Politics of Preaching (2000); Women of the Streets: Early Franciscan Women and their Mendicant Vocation (2010); and Enduring Presence Authenticity and Diversity among the First Generations of Franciscan Laity (2018). You can follow Dr. Pryds on Facebook or on Academia.edu.
