St. Ambrose of Milan wrote On the Duties of the Clergy during political turmoil & church division over heresy & episcopal leadership. A former governor, he reluctantly became bishop & faithfully embraced his calling. His treatise offers lasting wisdom on virtue, leadership, & service for clergy and even lay servants. Deacon Christian Azarias reflects on Ambrose’s work through Scripture, Orthodox theology, & the Early Church Fathers, applying its lessons today.
