Which Christian denomination did C.S. Lewis belong to after his return to Christianity?

C.S. Lewis belonged to the Church of England after his return to Christianity.

Lewis was raised in the Church of Ireland but became an atheist during his adolescence. During the late 1920s and early 1930s, conversations with Christian friends and fellow writers helped lead him back first to belief in God and then to Christianity. He described his conversion in the autobiographical work Surprised by Joy.

After his return, Lewis identified with Anglican Christianity, specifically the Church of England. His writings often sought to explain beliefs shared by many Christians rather than promote a narrow denominational position. This broad approach helped his books reach readers across several traditions.

A frequent mistake is calling Lewis a Roman Catholic because he admired some Catholic writers, especially G.K. Chesterton. Lewis was not Roman Catholic. He remained an Anglican layman and did not become a clergyman, although he regularly taught and spoke about Christianity.
