Listen "The Inner Ring"
Episode Synopsis
We examine C.S. Lewis’ essay, “The Inner Ring.” We then develop some of the themes of wanting to fit in. We see how some groups are worth belonging to, and some are not. We see how those Inner Rings are unavoidable, and can even be good. Other times, whether in families, friends, education or employment, being ‘in the know’ is a dangerous thing, and doesn’t help us, or others. It can be about excluding others, and then we can never be happy, since there is always another level. It can also tempt us, because of Pride, to lose our souls. When we join an Inner Ring out of genuine love of the people, or because we like the task at hand, we find peace, and it helps us grow in God’s grace.
