| Description: |
Why would a married woman with a Protestant background and often more doubt than faith be drawn to the ancient practice of monasticism, to a community of celibate men whose days are centered on a rigid schedule of prayer, work, and scripture?
Part record of her time among the Benedictines, at St John's Abbey in Minnesota part meditation on various aspects of monastic life, The Cloister Walk demonstrates how immersion in the cloistered world-- its liturgy, its ritual, its sense of community-- can impart meaning to everyday events and deepen our secular lives.
In this lyrical work, the monastery, often considered archaic or otherworldly, becomes immediate, accessible, and relevant to us, no matter what our faith may be. |
