Pulpit of St. Mary's, Oxford, where John Henry Newman preached (as an Anglican) almost every Sunday from 1828 until 1843. Many of these magnificent homilies were published as the Parochial and Plain Sermons. John Wesley preached here in the 1730s, and C.S Lewis occasionally in the 1930s and 1940s (including his famous sermon The Weight of Glory). Photo courtesy of J. Murray Elwood.

{Disclaimer: I emphatically do not endorse any pagan, occultic, Wiccan, New Age or other beliefs hostile to Christianity, which may appear on some of these sites unbeknownst to me. I am interested in mythology only insofar as it is consistent with a Lewis/Tolkien/George MacDonald sort of imaginative Christian Romanticism}
