I guess it is a sign of the times that so often questions about "what one is doing" (not just among the clergy) serves as a definition of "who one is". Have we been reduced to pragmaticism and utilitarianism in defining what is important in life. Whatever happen to learning for the sake of learning? Maybe reading Augustine's Confessions will not make me a better "doer" but it will definitely make me a better person.
