This month we're planning to read aloud Lewis's essay "Religion and Rocketry", a lesser-known essay in which Lewis muses on the existence of aliens ("extra-terrestrial animals", as he calls them), and whether their existence would be a blow to the Christian faith. In some ways this essay is a condensed, non-fiction version of his earlier novel *Out of the Silent Planet*.

Franci and I will put on a nice spread of food and drink to go with the evening. If you are willing and able to contribute a small donation, we'll have a koha/donation jar (you can also transfer to our bank account 11-7116-0034925-00 / Benjamin Hoyt). Suggested donation $5, but no obligation if you're not in a position to or would just rather not.

I am limiting it to 15 attendees due to space reasons in our living room, so please do RSVP. :-)

If you're new, welcome! Our address will be provided privately when you RSVP (we'd rather not post our home address publicly here). If you don't receive a message on Meetup, text Ben on 022 341 2746.
