OX-11 and CAM-11 ~ "Doing What the Inklings Did: How God Uses Small Groups to Encourage and Transform Us" with Diana Glyer

C. S. Lewis’ identity was shaped in community; his creativity and spiritual growth were transformed in community. In this workshop we will take a look at the various ways that Lewis, Tolkien, and the Inklings interacted, discovering a wealth of practical steps that we can take to breathe life into cell groups, discipleship groups, prayer groups, mission groups, and writing groups.
