February 18, 2008
Recently I came across this article by CS Lewis entitled “On Church Music” from the book Christian Reflections. It doesn’t need much introduction as CS Lewis has been a voice in the Christian community for decades, but I had not ever read this clip specifically on his views of worship music in the church. I … More CS Lewis “On Church Music”
