Subject: re: (Urth) 
Religious writers and their audience. 

Regarding Tolkien's alleged Anglican agnosticism... He was a devout Catholic.  And I'm quite sure CS Lewis (Church of England) would take grave offense at that characterization. (Afterwards he would of course forgive you and likely have you over for a pint.  When is that man's canonization going forth, btw?)

I don't think the Anglicans still canonize.  I think Lewis, in point of
fact, argued against new canonizations.

That said, Lewis has been added to the Episcopal Church's calendar with his
own day of rememberance, November 22nd.

I think you are correct w regard to the 
Anglicans, but I was (half jokingly) referring to the Catholics!
