It is with sad hearts that we announce that this year’s conference will not take place due to lack of registrations.

Join Castle Ministries on MARCH 25th in historic Rugby, TN  once again for encouragement, fellowship, and an opportunity to celebrate the good, the true, and the beautiful in literature.

Note: This is the article form of a talk that was given at Lewolkien 2022 by DJ Edwardson. Why study Lewis and Tolkien? Why come to a conference like this? Stop a moment and consider that. Various reasons surely come to mind. Perhaps it is because you love good books and good conversation. Perhaps you seek fellowship with other bibliophiles. Perhaps you desire rest and a time of contemplation. Perhaps you are seeking to deepen your walk with Christ by learning to see his truth in new and wonderful ways. You may be here for all those reasons or a myriad of others, but whether you know it or not, you are here in large part because of conversation. A conversation between Clive Staples Lewis and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Two Englishmen born in the nineteenth century and alive through most of the twentieth. They lived in momentous times. They experienced two world wars, fighting in the first of them. They saw the advent of the motor car, the airplane, and space travel. Radio, television, and motion pictures all came to be within their lifetimes. They were writers, of course, but also professors and husbands and patriots and friends and thinkers…

Join Castle Ministries in historic Rugby, TN  once again for encouragement, fellowship, and an opportunity to celebrate the good, the true, and the beautiful in literature. The Lewolkien conference is a small, intimate gathering of book lovers and thinkers to herald the written word. Gather as we discuss books and unite over our admiration of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and authors like them. For the third time, the conference will be held in Rugby TN, a little town rich in literary history. We hope this could be a launching point for you to discover and celebrate God’s hand at work through the written word, and to pick up your next “great read” and beyond. JOIN US for an energetic time of thinking, sharing, and exploring great literature. Dates: March 25-26th Special Notice This year we’ll be discussing a specific work of Tolkien in one of the sessions, The Silmarillion. Reading it before you come to the conference is not required, but is highly encouraged! This will be the time to get your questions answered and discuss this, one of Tolkien’s more polarizing and yet deeply rich books.  Schedule Time Name Speaker March 25     7:00 pm Meet and Greet…
