February 13, 20196 yr 26 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: Other way around. Right you are: Quote Tolkien's devout Roman Catholic faith was a significant factor in the conversion of C. S. Lewis from atheism to Christianity, although Tolkien was dismayed that Lewis chose to join the Church of England.[109] He once said, "It may be said that the chief purpose of life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks."[110]
February 14, 20196 yr Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?Solid quote. Deserves some rep. Do you have a flag?!?
