C. S. Lewis on Writing the Chronicles of Narnia

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe Some people seem to think that I began by asking myself how I could say something about Christianity to children; then fixed on the fairy tale as an instrument; then collected information about child-psychology and decided what age-group I’d write for; then drew up a list of basic Christian truths and hammered out “allegories” to embody them. This is all pure moonshine. I couldn’t write in that way at all. Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion. At first there wasn’t even anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord. It was part of the bubbling.

Common Ground Without Compromise: 25 Questions to Create Dialogue on Abortion

Why Common Ground?

At a march in Washington, a pro-life activist comes face to face with a pro-choice activist.

Pro-Life: You’re a murderer.
Pro-Choice: You hate women.

Their discussion is short and to the point. Or, pointless.

Isn’t there a better way?

There’s a lot of abortion “discussion” among activists—combative rants where the participants talk at each other. Do they listen? Only enough to construct their next volley.
