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

C.S. Lewis belonged to the Church of England after returning to Christianity. Although raised in the Church of Ireland, part of the Anglican tradition, Lewis became an atheist in adolescence and later returned to Christian belief during the 1920s.

Lewis’s conversion involved several stages. He first became a theist and then embraced Christianity, influenced in part by conversations with fellow Oxford writers and scholars, including J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. He remained an Anglican and attended services in the Church of England.

Lewis’s writings appealed to Christians across many denominations, which can obscure his own affiliation. He was not a Roman Catholic or an Eastern Orthodox Christian, though he wrote extensively about shared Christian beliefs. His ecumenical approach made his apologetic works influential well beyond Anglican circles.
