Does Narnia reflect Anglican cultural structures? Is it a story-world that can only be created by an Anglican? And why has C.S. Lewis been called the last exit before atheism? On today's episode of Canterbury Trails, hosts Jared Lovell and C. Jay Engel welcome Jared's brother, Micah Lovell, a classical educator and Director of Operations at Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd in Binghamton, NY, to talk about the immense influence of C.S. Lewis, and how his work reflects Medieval thought and traditional English life.

Is the Anglican tradition more Reformed, more Lutheran, or a true Via Media? In Episode 4 of The Canterbury Trails, hosts Jared Lovell and C.J. Engel talk about the influence of Lutheran theology on early Anglican theological development. To better understand this important subject, Jared and C.J. welcome their special guest Jesse Nigro, classical educator and editor-in-chief of The North American Anglican, an online theology journal, where he has served for more than a decade.

Jared and CJ discuss the Anglo tradition in education, focusing mostly on the reforms of Alfred the Great. Join the discussion, and consider why our educational reform efforts today would benefit from the wisdom of a ninth century English king known most for his military victories.
