I enjoyed reading it, especially the section on her chaplain residency at Bellevue. Some anecdotes about other parts of Breyer's first year in seminary didn't feel quite as fleshed out. I liked the nitty-gritty details about learning to become a priest. ( ) Much better and more enjoyable read than a few of the spiritual memoirs I've read, but not ranking up there with the best either... I don't necessarily agree with the review I read somewhere that made the author out to be very flippant and irreligious and seemingly there on a whim - is she a lot more "secular" than my own religious upbringing? Yes, but it is all very honest and she does seem to "get" why she is at seminary, so I do not agree with that review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Set in the context of the Church Year, The Close is an enthralling account of one young woman's spiritual journey. It is both a personal meditation on faith, in the spirit of Kathleen Norris's Cloister Walk, and a fascinating behind-the-scenes story of a graduate student's first year, in the mode of Scott Turow's One L. Raised in a liberal, interfaith home, Breyer, responding to an inner call to a spiritual vocation, began her training at New York's General Theological Seminary in 1997. She describes her intense immersion in daily prayer, the rigors and rewards of the academic program, and the challenging tension between secular and spiritual that marks her training, including working as a chaplain at Bellevue Hospital. She probes the day-to-day meanings of such profound issues as exaltation, enlightenment, and redemption, illuminating the unique experience of a young person of faith preparing to live and hoping to thrive in a secular modern world.
