This summer it was my joy and duty to take undergraduates around England under the auspices of the C.S. Lewis Global Seminar through SPU. We spent about 5 days in Oxford, 5 in London, and 5 in Cambridge, seeing the relevant bits and reading through fiction and essays. Along the way, we learned from Kim Gilnett, long of The Kilns, Lewis’ home, Michael Ward, author of Planet Narnia, among others, Adrian Wood, sexton of Lewis’ parish Holy Trinity, Aidan Mackay, chair of the G.K. Chesterton society, and from the good people at the Gillian Lynne Theater’s production of The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.
The students were game, conversations rich, and sites as rewarding as they could be. A blessed time, in short. I brought my camera this time, so I could share with you some of the highlights.
