The temptation can be to demand that all the teaching which an ordinand (say) receives be useful, that it serve certain clearly specified goals, that it fit clearly within a clear practical strategy and equip the student for pursuing that strategy. The typical age of today's ordinand has also increased steadily from 29 years for those ordained in the 1970s, to 39 years in the 2000s, while the average age of women on the roster is younger than their male counterparts. The ordinand is Sister (or Mother, as she now wishes to be called) Frances Meigh, who was born an Anglican, converted to Catholicism at the age of twenty-one, married and had three children, had her marriage annulled, and was consecrated as a hermit under canon law 603 in 1994 by Bishop John Crowley of Middlesborough, in the North of England. |
