A Great Find

I bought this out-of-print book because I was researching the issue of the ordination of women, which C.S. Lewis opposed. The bad news is that this issue is only hinted at in such essays as "Membership". (I should have been looking for "God in the Dock".) The good news, however, is that this is a fantastic collection of incredibly insightful essays--mainly on issues of religion. If you have read and enjoyed Weight of Glory, this will be a valuable addition to your collection. In the collection's final essay of the same title as the work itself, Lewis is warning Anglican seminary students that, if they fail to change the direction of the church and set its anchor again in the rock of Christ, members will begin to leave for the Catholic Church. Something tells me, if Lewis were alive today, he would have already made this leap--as our family has done.
