preacher

peripatetic country preachers

a preacher of great power and eloquence.

such words as these cost the preacher his frock.

He is doubling the parts of a preacher and a teacher.

The preacher addressed a congregation of more than one thousand people.

but lord, we all do that -- leastways most of us -- preachers and such like.

In the sermon the preacher hereby notifies the congregation that it is dead and buried –an ex-people.This is not a metaphor, this is our reality coram Deo.

And he also becomes a drowned man in the official circles, a fratricide as well as a preacher of the then cultural tyranny.
