In these addresses, the expectations – true and false – of newly-ordained clergy are identified. Stressing the need for constant thanksgiving as the bedrock of a pastor’s life, the author examines the role of the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, in providing practical and spiritual support to ministry. Sister Edmée SLG entered the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God in 1966. She has a particular interest in the Biblical Song of Songs, which was the subject of her doctoral thesis and of her book, ‘The Song of Songs and the Eros of God: A Study in Biblical Intertextuality’ (published by Oxford University Press, 2009, under the name Edmée Kingsmill). She was Editor of SLG Press in the 1970s.
