This fall Adult Education is taking the fall sermon series—Curate Your Heart—to heart! Our classes center on several of the themes our preachers will be exploring from the pulpit—love of God, love of neighbor, forgiveness and reconciliation, mercy and justice. As we curate our hearts, we will discipline our minds as well.

Today Dr. James Como returns for a look at C.S. Lewis’ final novel, Till We Have Faces (1956), a retelling of the second-century myth of Cupid and Psyche. The novel explores themes of romantic love, faithfulness and the presence of the divine in human lives.

Dr. Como, professor emeritus of rhetoric and public communication at York College (CUNY), has lectured widely on C.S. Lewis, appeared in five documentaries, written dozens of articles and published three books on the man he calls his “earthly master.”

Following this class, join us at 2 pm in Jones Auditorium as the Fifth Avenue Theatre Fellowship presents dramatic readings from Shadowlands, the acclaimed play by William Nicholson that is based on the romantic relationship between C.S. Lewis and the American poet Joy Gresham. Dr. Como will be reading the role of Lewis!
