Notes: "[By] Rachel Hosmer".; "Joyce Glover, Editor". -- front cover.; "Rachel Hosmer had been my spiritual director for about seven years when I began working with her on her memoirs in the spring of 1988. At that time, she was undergoing chemotherapy, with its accompanying bouts of nausea and exhaustion. .... Rachel died in late December 1988, soon after Cowley Publications had accepted the manuscript." -- Editor's Preface.; Rachel Hosmer "was a religious and a priest; a common combination for males but most rare among women. She had been one of the founding members of her community, and been a strong if somewhat controversial voice among Episcopal religious. In the seventies, she was the first ordained women to be a full-time member of General's faculty". -- Foreword.; Contents: Editor's Preface / Joyce Glove -- Foreword / Patricia Wilson-Kastner -- My Beginnings -- Vocations -- Margaret Hall School -- The Founding of the Order of St. Helena -- Shift and Trauma -- Bolahun, West Africa -- Travels in Europe -- Monastic Renewal -- Transition and Change -- New and Different Ministries -- My Year at Grandchamp -- Ordination to the Priesthood -- Travels in Jerusalem and Spain -- Looking Back -- Appendix: Obedience and Community Responsibility (Delivered at the Oxford Conference on Religious Life, 1965) / Rachel Hosmer.
