We would all like a religion that kept us within our comfort zone. But just as C. S. Lewis’s Aslan is not a tame lion, neither is the Christ of the gospels always a comfortable Saviour, saying and doing things that are often unexpected and challenging. Lent was never intended to be a time of comfort, but a time of reflection in the run-up to the glorious resurrection theme of Easter. This Lent, will you be willing to submit your spirit to a little bit of mental exercise and your mind to a little bit of spiritual challenge?
Not a Tame Lion aims to bring ideas from C.S. Lewis’s writing to a wide contemporary audience. It uses short clips from the films: “The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Shadowlands” . Each film clip is related to one of the sayings of Jesus which we read and discuss. There is introductory material that can be read before each session. Each session ends with a brief time for reflection.
Starts: 28th April 7pm (weekly on Mondays) Where: St Stephen’s, Upper Basildon Length: 12 Weeks Cost: Free
