The world is our parish and all her creatures our congregation. Based on talks given to ordinands in Wales this book presents the ministry as responding to Gods call to be priestly stewards of creation and to participate in the blossoming of the new creation. Clavier engages with Scripture and people such as Augustine Anselm Bernard of Clairvaux Bonaventure Julian of Norwich Lancelot Andrewes George Herbert C. S. Lewis N. T. Wright and Rowan Williams to portray the whole ministry of Gods people
