I am so glad to find a group that speaks seriously about C.S.
Lewis. I have studied him since 10 years old, and I am now 60, so I
have a little under my belt. My goodness, it was SO hard to find a
group. I looked all over the English media and nothing seemed
serious, and the small groups I did find weren't moderated and had
girls depicted for free. Not for this person, thank you.
I know German as a native (I grew up there just by acciddnet) and
Dutch seems to contain a lot of cognates to German action words. So I
am getting used to the commands. It never occured me to think that
there would be a Dutch group with a lot of English action about Lewis.
Hey, thanks a lot, all of you, I will hack through the commands
and start to read your letterts. Interesting evenings await me.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does anyone know of a site on the Internet which
would include the correspondence of Llewis and Dom Bede Griffiths?
ADVISE.

Sincerely,
Sergie

I'm not sure why you think this is a Dutch group (it isn't), but welcome
anyway. As has already been said, things are not very active here just
at the moment ...

Best wishes,
Matthew

Welcome Sergios! Glad you found us. There letters to Dom Bede in the
several volumes of Lewis letters out now.

Blessings,
Ann

Hi Matthew;
Well, I am mystiified as well. I found the site in some research
on the Internet (I am still chasing Dom Griffiths letters to Lewis),
and found a reference to this group's incarnation in Holland. All the
commands were in Dutch. Well, I just figgered that as CS Lewis was
basically writing mostly English (only one book of Latin letters that
I know of) and as a lot of Hollanders know English just fine, I was
getting English from English speaking peoples as well as Hollanders.
When i signed in, I signed in to a command named <aanmelden> which is
cognate to German <anmelden> and means: join. Well, lo and behold, i
now get all my commands in English. However, i am suspicious that
some Hollanders are pulling my leg--nah! Just a joke. But I honest
to goodness practiced aanmelden=joining to enter your company. I
forgive you for acting like Hollanders, i lived there once, and like
them all!
Just a joke, but there appears to be parralel sites to English Sites
from google in other languages.
