We use this "blog" to stay in touch with our friends and supporters while we serve the Lord and wait on Him here at The Kilns, the home of C. S. Lewis.

My job

If I have not explained to you enough of what we are doing here, this is from the job description I have been given.  Enjoy!  :-)

Duties of the Warden

You will report directly to the Kilns Coordinator.  The responsibilities of the Warden consist of the following:

  • Ensure that the house and property are properly maintained—(i.e. overseeing upkeep of entire house and garden);
  • Oversee all of the financial matters relating to the administration of The Study Centre;
  • Serve as liaison between the C. S. Lewis Foundation and the local community;
  • Manage special projects and events as needed;
  • Maintain accurate statistical data and information relating to the usage of The Kilns, including tours and all other activities;
  • Serve as the primary contact person responsible for the oversight of all residents (both long-term and short-term);
  • Maintain and advance the spiritual integrity of the C.S. Lewis Study Centre as an intentional community of Christian scholars;
  • Promote the Scholars-In-Residence Program with the goal of maintaining the optimal level of occupancy at all times;
  • Entertain and host special guests as needed;
  • Oversee the tour ministry.

What is not mentioned is prayerful faithfulness to share the love of Christ with all the many people who visit the Kilns.  We need grace for all the "job" aspects of the position, but especially for the spiritual side of it all.  Do pray for us.
