Memorial to Lewis

Within Westminster Abbey in London (founded 960 A.D.), there is a "Poets' Corner" for the commemoration of distinguished authors, composers, politicians, etc.  Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Benjamin Disraeli, and many others have a memorial or a burial place there.  Needless to say, it is an honor.

Last Friday, November 22, a memorial was ceremonially placed there for C. S. Lewis on the 50th anniversary of his death.

A wonderful video here will give you an idea of the significance of Lewis' influence ("C. S. Lewis:  Why He Matters Today").  Asbury University Lewis scholar Devin Brown, one of the 24-minute video's creators, says that Lewis demonstrated in his own life what it means to be a Christian in today's world.  You'll see comments from Chuck Colson, Eric Metaxas, author Tim Keller and many others.
