Join us for The International Centennial
Celebration of C.S. Lewis' Birth

Oxbridge '98 is a two-week conference that is unlike any other. Join us amid "the dreaming spires" of Oxford and Cambridge Universities where Lewisian scholars and friends, together with an array of literary, visual and performing artists, will celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of C.S. Lewis (1898 - 1998). Guided by our world class faculty, the fourth triennial C.S. Lewis Summer Institute will explore the theme, "Loose in the fire" (based upon Daniel 3:25). Together, we will consider the larger significance of Lewis' life, particularly with regard to the challenge of living faithfully as Christians in our time and within our respective vocations. Oxbridge '98 affords innumerable opportunities for enrichment of a more informal nature through discussions over pub lunches and elegant dinners, during scenic walks, and while punting on the Rivers Cherwell or "The Cam." Last, but not least, the discriminating shopper will find opportunities galore to make those special purchases amid a paradise of bookstores, galleries, boutiques, and antique shops.
