C.S. Lewis Foundation

The C.S. Lewis Foundation Presents
“The Self and the Search For Meaning”
July 28 – August 8, 2008

The C.S. Lewis Foundation has e-mailed us with their support of the film Bella. I have seen Bella and I can tell you all: it’s a great film, worth seeing by any means possible. It is a film that touches your heart and it does so with a very simple grace and elegance. I cannot recommend it enough. Here’s the letter from the founder and president of the C.S. Lewis Foundation:

I apologize for the severe tardiness of this report. However, I felt it was important enough that I should just post it and plan on getting the next one up on time.

The C.S. Lewis Foundation is pleased to announce the Southeast Regional C.S. Lewis Conference. Come join us in Nashville on May 5 as we engage the world of C.S. Lewis in the good company of Lewis scholars Joseph Pearce, Stan Mattson and Andrew Lazo. Together we will explore Lewis’ life and works, discovering the essential role of faith in our own quest for joy.

Dr. Francis S. Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health, will speak on the topic “Bios Through Logos: Seeing God in the Human Genome” at the C.S. Lewis Foundation Summer Institute at Williams College.

The C.S. Lewis Foundation, which has sponsored “C.S. Lewis Summer Institute” conferences in Oxford and Cambridge, England, since 1988, is “crossing the pond” for the first time this summer with a conference at Williams College (MA).

In a move calculated to put the triennial C.S. Lewis Foundation Summer Institute within easy reach of the bulk of its constituency, the foundation will hold its upcoming week-long Summer Institute at Williams College in Williamston, Mass., from July 7 – 16, 2006. More than 2,000 alumni have participated in one or several of the previous six triennial “Oxbridge” summer institutes held by the foundation in Oxford and Cambridge, England, over the past 18 years. But never before has the foundation offered this weeklong feast for spirit, imagination and intellect in North America.

This year’s retreat will feature commentary on C.S. Lewis’ wonderful collection of stories for both children and adults, The Chronicles of Narnia are a wonder of delight for both young and old, and, as in 2004, we will offer programs for both adults and children.
