A cancer survivor herself, she now continues helping others through her hospice work. She lives in Rye, New York. 'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title.Īndrea Raynor received her Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and served as a chaplain at Ground Zero after the Septemterrorist attacks. From navigating relationships to exploring whether a pretty girl can truly wear a collar, Incognito tackles our assumptions about spirituality, the church, morality, and identity, and affirms that God often works in ways-and in people-we least expect. But the real story is about the challenges, surprises, and ultimately life-changing experiences Andrea faced on the road to understanding God’s call for her life. It begins with the long drive from Ohio to Cambridge and ends at the bedside of a dying young woman. Providing a bird’s-eye view of life within the hallowed halls (and beneath the crimson robes), Incognito is a humorous and poignant glimpse inside one of the nation’s most revered institutions. There was a lively gay and lesbian caucus, marches on Washington, civil disobedience, and more sexual intrigue than could be found in a stereotypical college fraternity house.

Her classmates included two men who were undergoing sex changes and a woman who fancied herself a geisha. When she attended, in the 1980s, HDS was a place overflowing with creative expression and freedom of thought.

Instead, she landed- almost by accident-at Harvard Divinity School, which, she quickly discovered, was no typical seminary.

Filled with humor, insight, and faith, this true story tells how one young woman overcame challenges, stereotypes, and personal struggles at Harvard Divinity School and emerged an ordained minister.įilled with humor, insight, and faith, this true story tells how one woman overcame challenges, stereotypes, and personal struggles at Harvard Divinity School and emerged an ordained minister.Īs a bright young girl from Ohio, Andrea Raynor always wanted to be a doctor.
