FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE C.S. LEWIS FELLOWSHIP:
"What accounts for C.S. Lewis's appeal? Most likely it’s a number of factors: the vividness of his imagery, the clarity of his thought, and the winsomeness of his prose, to name a few. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that people still find much to learn in the writings of this self-described dinosaur. We have found that Lewis rekindles in students a love for reading and opens their minds and hearts, even if only slightly, to reconsider the attractiveness of the Christian faith. For these and other reasons, we have begun The C. S. Lewis Fellowship to encourage the dissemination of his thought at the secondary and post-secondary levels.
FROM THE CHARTER OF THE NEW YORK C.S. LEWIS SOCIETY:
-
To encourage scholarship and publication stemming from his writings.
-
To establish and maintain contact with others throughout the world who share our active interest in C.S. Lewis;
-
To make discreet overtures to persons not familiar with the writings of C.S. Lewis, but who are clearly afoot on their life's pilgrimage and who may have - even unaware - an affinity for the Christian Spirit that he represents, and to whom his writings may prove, as to us, welcome guides.
