Lewis’ Death"},"content":{"rendered":"

C.S. Lewis died on November 22, 1963, just shy of his 65th birthday on November 29th.<\/p>\n

Today is the 52nd anniversary of his death on the same day that President John F. Kennedy and writer Aldous Huxley died.<\/p>\n

In “Living the Legacy” of C.S. Lewis, we don’t seek to idolize the man or merely to memorialize him, but instead we see Lewis as a model of someone who lived as a Christian serving in higher education and who used his imagination and intellect in the service of Christ.<\/p>\n

\n

Among many other qualities, Lewis was ever-seeking, charitable, humble, and joyous. Most importantly, he pointed others toward Christ.<\/p>\n

As individuals inspired by his writings and his life, and as an organization that endeavors to live his legacy, we remember him this day.<\/p>\n
