The 2009 C. S. Lewis Tour

NarniaFans.com reports the C. S. Lewis Society is delighted to present “The Path of C. S. Lewis and British Christianity,” a nine-day educational tour of England, May 31st through June 8th, 2009. With its main focus on Oxford and Cambridge, the trip has been designed to touch minds and hearts –to inform and transform. By tracing the remarkable spread of the gospel in Great Britain and beyond-and C.S. Lewis’s unique role in that advance-we seek to inspire a vision of what God can do yet again, facing today’s challenges.

“The tour will include visits to Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, the Kilns (Lewis’s home for 30 years), and the Eagle and Child Pub, where Lewis gathered with his Christian soul mates, the Inklings. We will enjoy Ely Cathedral’s Evensong Service, and worship at Cambridge’s historic Holy Trinity Church, where the gospel has been fearlessly preached for four centuries! Dinner is planned at the Trout Inn, where J.R.R. Tolkien ate often with ‘Jack.’”

Plans include daily talks on C.S. Lewis and the British Reformation by Society director Tom Woodward, and a guest lecture by the brilliant young theologian Dr. Peter Williams. British evangelical leaders Ranald Macauley and Peter Loose will speak, and, from Portland, Oregon, will be C. S. Lewis scholar Darren Jacobs.
