The following is from my Facebook page 22nd November 2013

 

>C S Lewis went to heaven 50 years ago today. No writer has influenced me more. My favourite quote is from his speculative novella The Great Divorce.

An apostate bishop (think of John Shelby Spong) who denied the Resurrection says to an orthodox believer who insists that revealed doctrinal truth exists

‘Surely it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive?’

The response from the saint comes

‘If that were true,and known to be true, how could anyone travel hopefully?’

See you, Jack.<<
