Exploring C.S. Lewis’s 1941 speech, “Membership,” on how Christians can only find their value, their purpose, and become who they were created to be through their participation as members in the Body of Christ. He challenges both collectivists and individualists to think differently about Church and calls our culture’s value for authenticity into question. We reflect on how this essay reminds us all why it is crucial to return to membership in a Church after this season of Covid has kept us away.

“Membership” can be found in the books "Fern-Seed and Elephants," "The Weight of Glory," and "Transposition."
