Answer
Mediator was Ælfric's role in the community outside the church. He served as a bridge between the Anglo-Saxon laity and the Latin-speaking clergy. By translating Latin texts into the vernacular, he made religious knowledge and ideas accessible to the common people. Ælfric's writings played a crucial role in shaping the religious and cultural landscape of Anglo-Saxon England.
