Lucy and Aslan, 2012
Inspired by the following passage from C. S. Lewis’ Prince Caspian: “Will the others see you too?” asked Lucy. “Certainly not at first,” said Aslan. “Later on, it depends.” “But they won’t believe me!” said Lucy. “It doesn’t matter,” said Aslan |
Hold Thou the Light Burning in My Soul
Inspired by David Elginbrod by George MacDonald, specifically the following passage -> |
A prayer:
O Thou, what keeps the stars alight, And my soul burning with a light Above that of the stars, Grant that it may shine before Thee As the stars forever and ever. And as Thou holds the stars Burning in the night, When there’s no one to see, So hold Thou the light Burning in my soul, When I see neither Thee, nor it, But am buried in the grave Of sleep and forgetfulness…. Grant that more and more thoughts of Thy thinking, May come into my heart day by day, Until there shall be at last an open road Between Thee and my soul, And Thy angels may ascend and descend upon me, So that I may be in Thy heaven, Even while I am upon Thy earth: Amen. |

Christians in Theatre Arts
The Kindlings - is a movement inspired by C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Dorothy Sayers and a diverse group of gadflies and friends called The Inklings, who met in an Oxford pub each week for lively conversation and friendly disputation. We think such discourse should be intelligent, imaginative and hospitable. Our aim is to rekindle the spiritual, intellectual and creative legacy of Christians in culture.
