I have read and enjoyed Rebekah's book, and highly recommend it. I have since passed my copy on to a forum friend. I often order camino inspired books from forum recommendations; I'm currently reading "The Crossway" by Guy Stagg at the recommendation of @Kanga.Having read the article in the online edition it is my understanding that you can read four articles in the Church Times for free in one month but an invitation to subscribe accompanies the information. There is also an extract from Rebekah's A Furnace Full of God from June 2020.
I think you may mean "Guy Stagg"currently rading "The Crossway" by Guy Skaggs at the recommendation of @Kanga.
Thanks very much for this! Strange format-- like they edited out the questions-- but fantastic to read.What a surprise, and unexpected pleasure to see an interview with our own Rebekah Scott on the back page of the latest edition of the Church Times. It is an excellent (UK) publication offering first class book, art, media and music reviews, as well as informed comments on serious matters.
Here is a link (I hope) to the article and trust that I am not breaching any rules, as I do have a subscription to the paper.

I found it a superb description of an extraordinary journey. I first read it soon after publication and quite recently I listened to the audiobook version. As someone who has a long-standing interest in pilgrimage and whose own religious identity has moved over the years from very conventional Christian to something far more ambivalent I found there was much in Stagg's account that I could usefully reflect on.I do!...who'd think I am reading it even today.

Try looking for the option allowing you to read four articles for free in one month.Alas - one encounters the paywall
I check the Church Times most weeks - mainly for the Ron cartoon. A vpn or using the Tor browser usually gets me past the paywall.Alas - one encounters the paywall
Not having read Rebekah's book I found this fascinating and uplifting. Thanks for posting.Here is a link (I hope) to the article and trust that I am not breaching any rules, as I do have a subscription to the paper.

A question for @Rebekah Scott to answer I think. But as she was still married to Paddy a few days ago and he seemed in pretty good health I think we can rule out the latter idea...At the end of the interview it says “Rebekah Scott OSB“.
I can‘t remember she is a member or nun of the Benedicts?
This was a really good read from someone who helps pilgrims in many different ways.

In the Q&A, Rebekah writes this: "I’m a vowed member of the New Benedictine Community of the Holy Trinity: a dispersed New Monastic group with members in the US, the UK, Mexico, and Spain." Hence, the OSB.I could read the interview without being a subscriber.

I am a Benedictine. I'm not a nun in the first-order sense. NBC is part of the New Monastic movement, which is re-defining how monastic life is lived in the wider world, as the old-order world of enclosed/celibate/conventual nuns and monks is slowly dying out. It's a fascinating phenomenon.I could read the interview without being a subscriber.
