Abstract
It is regrettably all too easy for discussions of engagement to be of the ‘motherhood and apple pie’ variety. I was thinking about this when I was watching the film Sister Act recently, where Whoopi Goldberg’s character Sister Mary Clarence takes a motley, uninspired and fairly tuneless choir of nuns and, through some chutzpah, inspirational leadership, and a judicious reminder of the importance of rehearsal, turns them in next to no time into an all-singing, all-dancing disco-choir, fit to entertain a foot-tapping Pontiff. Sometimes, it seems as though we’re being persuaded all we need is a little Mary Clarence magic to turn our humdrum staff into high-flying, fully engaged stars.
