Nun of the slums is Teresa (6)
I believe the answer is:
sister
'nun' is the definition.
(Sister is an example)
'of the slums is teresa' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'SISTER' is hidden within 'slums is teresa'.
(Other definitions for sister that I've seen before include "Senior nurse; relative" , "Close female relative" , "trade union member?" , "Member of family" , "Resist (anag) - nurse" .)
