“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” — C. S. Lewis 

Four 1.5-hour online workshops with Rory Shiner.

7:30–9pm AEST Monday 17th August to Monday 7th September.

More than fifty years after his writing, C. S. Lewis remains one of the most widely read and influential Christian thinkers of the twentieth century. Through works such as Mere Christianity, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Screwtape Letters, Lewis continues to shape the way Christians think about faith, imagination, apologetics, and culture. 

Join us for four online workshops exploring Lewis’s life, theology, literature, and enduring legacy. Together, we’ll consider what Lewis still has to teach us about defending the Christian faith, cultivating the imagination, and living faithfully in the modern world. 

These workshops are designed for anyone interested in Lewis, Christian thought, apologetics, theology, literature, or the relationship between faith and imagination. No specialist background is required. 

Cost

  • $90 for all four workshops.
  • $30 for a single session.
