> Judging the Narnia books solely by their Christianity is an impoverished way of reading them. It is a reflection more of our polarized moment -- in which a perceived cultural divide has alienated Christians from secular culture and secular readers from anything that smacks of religious leanings -- than of the relative aesthetic merits and weaknesses of Lewis' books.

Meghan O'Rourke, writing on "The Lion King," Friday in *Slate*.

[From the *Washington Times*.](http://www.washtimes.com/culture/culturebriefs.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

Many writers and organizations are trying to bridge that divide, by bringing secular culture to Christianity and Christianity to the secular culture ([Godspy](http://www.godspy.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) is an especially good example of this). Christianity needs to infuse the secular culture, not dominate it. For the past thirty years, Christianity has simply capitulated to the secularist culture and adapted its ways to secularist ways. Movies like *LLW* are an effort in the opposite direction.
