The Patristic Mind through a Wardrobe
Take a Mini-Course w/ me Through St. Athanasius College on C.S. Lewis & the Church Fathers! (Open to All!)
Dear Friends,
What if the works of C.S. Lewis could open a door to the early Church?
In our newest 5-week course, “Patristic Wardrobe: Finding the Fathers Through the Thought of C.S. Lewis,” Orthodox educator Cassian (Kyle) King guides students on a journey “further up and further in,” uncovering how Lewis’s writing reflects timeless patristic themes like theosis, icons, sacraments, and salvation.
This unique course connects the imagination of Lewis with the theological vision of the Church Fathers, offering an inspiring and accessible way to encounter Orthodox spirituality.

I understand! It was next to impossible to figure out a time to go 'live' that matches everyone's schedules. The recording will be there, and you can also send questions my way via substack/emails that I could answer 'live' if need me. Thanks!
That sounds such an interesting course but it looks like it will be at 1 a. am. where I am.
