Description: In some respects, Chloe Breyer's The Close does for seminary what Scott Turow's One L did for law school. It describes a student's initiation into an academic world that holds great mystique for many people on the outside. Subtitled "A Young Woman's First Year at Seminary," Breyer's memoir is an intimate glimpse at her 1997 entry into the Episcopalian General Theological Seminary in New York. Breyer's story is structured by the liturgical calendar (beginning with Advent and ending at Pentecost)--a significant decision, which summarizes one aspect of Breyer's understanding of what it means to live a Christian life. "What distinguishes everyone in my class from graduate students in secular fields is that each of us has a story woven into the Story that begins with Genesis and ends with Revelation," Breyer explains. Having grown up in a liberal, secular household, Breyer was often confronted with the blunt question, "Why seminary?" when she headed down the path to ordination. This book is an eloquent answer to that question. "Communicating my own explanation [to the question of why I'm in Seminary] in a fresh way that doesn't sound like a hackneyed campaign speech or an over-the-top sales pitch helps to strengthen my faith," Breyer writes. "Offering a testimony about God's work in my life gives me faith ... that, with God, there is strength and meaning to be found in seeking to put the interest of others before my own." Breyer's stories about her immersion in daily prayer, her academic adventures, and her work as a chaplain at Bellevue Hospital all make compelling reading. She's a twentysomething Kathleen Norris, and The Close is worth a close look. --Michael Joseph Gross

Description: This fascinating memoir by a gay British priest begins in London in 1929, when Bernard Mayes emerged from his heavily sedated mother, and, according to the practice of the day, was sequestered by doctors for a month, returning to her sickly and fretful. By turns political, confessional, and spiritual, Mayes's tale is entertaining and well written. Coming of age during the rise of Nazism in Europe, he began having affairs with boyhood chums, then moved on to seminary where the "pad, pad, pad of feet and the rustle of cassocks down the ever-creaking corridors during the night was not always evidence of devoted meditations." A gay priest in a culture where love "is damnably suppressed, denied, and hidden ... to please intellectual tyrants claiming to speak for God," Mayes eventually helped found a small congregation of like-minded gay and lesbian Christians in the Castro district of San Francisco, in the years just before the outbreak of AIDS. All the elements of a blockbuster movie are here--sex, oppression, and the Sturm und Drang of romance--set against a wider historical backdrop. Mayes's introspective retelling of his journey--from his staid Anglican roots, to a tour of the American South at the height of the civil rights movement, and finally to the gay mecca of San Francisco--should resonate with anyone who appreciates the ways in which history is both made and reflected in our private lives.--Jack Connolly

Description: Beginning with the early coastal settlements of the 1700s and continuing through the 100-year colonial period, this book examines the 24 individual parishes that made up the administrative and ceremonial centers of Anglican community life in South Carolina. The surviving parish churches make up one of the nation's largest concentrations of early American church architecture, and their histories, gleaned from archival holdings in America and Great Britain, provide insights into the life of the clergy, vestries, and communicants who worshiped at these sites. The story of the origins and the development of these Anglican church parishes is one of the triumph of the human spirit over the often bewildering circumstances of colonial life.

Description: How a new congregation of 40 Episcopalians struggling against general rowdiness in an isolated frontier outpost of 8,000 inhabitants had the daring to commission Richard Upjohn, the nation s leading church architect, to design their church and then to build it is the start of one of the stories that makes San Antonio such an unusual place. Even the first members caught their breath once the church was finally finished. Fully aware that their new edifice could not match the elegant and costly decorations of the churches in our Eastern cities, one writer nevertheless admitted to a feeling of local pride . . . that old San Antonio, in the wilderness as she is, and almost out of the world as she is thought to be, should possess such a church. As various denominations worked to establish churches in San Antonio, missionaries were able to form an Episopal church in town in 1850, but it was another eight years before their efforts bore lasting fruit with St. Mark s. Robert E. Lee and other Episcopalians in the U.S. Army helped keep things going. St. Mark s became one of the major churches in San Antonio and in the Episcopal Church as well. Among its landmark events was the wedding of future President Lyndon B. Johnson and Lady Bird Taylor in 1934. St. Mark s produced a profusion of bishops as it endured and thrived even as downtown churches elswhere were having difficult times. This book, laced with color illustrations, succinctly recounts 150 years of struggles and triumphs in a significant congregation s remarkable journey.
