In this episode, Lauryn and Jonathan continue their conversation on church interpreting, this time asking that tricky question: should church interpreting be professionalised? On the way, we look at what every church interpreter needs to know, whether you need to be a Christian to interpret in church and how to deal with preachers who tell jokes!
