Unarguable fact:

Lewis thought women as priests/pastors/what-have-you was a bad idea and causes Christianity to ultimately become something that is not Christianity.

Go beat up Lewis! :smile:

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

Hee! And to further derail this thread, I've just finished reading Richard Russo's Straight Man (a very good quasi-comic novel about academic life), in which one of the male professors insists on saying "or she" every time someone utters the word "he". For most of the book he is called by the name Orshee.

[quote="Tuke"]If Jack were alive today, would he leave the Anglican/Episcopal Church, perhaps following TS Eliot as an Anglo-Catholic, Walter Hooper as a Roman Catholic, or wherever? The reason I ask is because the Anglican Church seems at odds with some of Jack's positions as stated in God in the Dock.

Maybe not. You seem to be assuming that Lewis somehow idiosyncratically comes up with a position, and then shopped around until he found the right denomination. Perhaps it was the other way around. Perhaps he chose a denomination for some personal reason, and then worked to defend that denomination's teachings.
