"My first question to
Brad Owen,
Lieutenant Governor of the State of Washington, was―when did you first
realize you wanted to be in politics? Could it have been as far back as
your days in
Frankfurt? His answer was surprising. ―I first ran for office in fifth
grade, he chuckled. ―I was in school politics throughout junior high and
high school, ..."

Adventist Professor to Enter C.S. Lewis’ World
Higgens will oversee ‘The Kilns’ for two years
BY MEGAN BRAUNER, Media Relations assistant, General Conference of
Seventh-day Adventists
ASeventh-day Adventist English professor will spend the next two
years overseeing the home of Christian apologist and writer C.S.
Lewis in Oxford, England.
Debbie Higgens, who has devoted much of her career to studying and
teaching about Lewis, is the new resident director of the home the
author inhabited for 20 years. The Kilns is the birthplace of some
of Lewis' most beloved works, including The Chronicles of
Narnia series.
Higgens, a professor at Southern Adventist University, has a long
history with the C.S. Lewis Foundation. She has visited The Kilns
off and on since the mid 1990s and stayed there for six months in
2007.
“I wrote the last two chapters of my dissertation in the office
where they think Lewis wrote The Chronicles of Narnia,” Higgens
said. “The [doctoral] committee said the last two chapters were my
best.”
Part of Higgens’ duties will involve overseeing the
scholars-in-residence program, which allows doctoral candidates from
Oxford to stay at The Kilns while working on their dissertations.
She is the fourth person to hold the position.
“The people who [directed The Kilns] since the 2006 start of the
scholars in residence are wonderful people, but not academics,”
Higgens said. “I hope to bring the academic side.”
Higgens also teaches a class on C.S. Lewis at Southern, the
Seventh-day Adventist university located in Collegedale, Tennessee.
She is taking a two-year break to fill the unpaid position at The
Kilns.
“I do feel called to do this,” Higgens said. “If I didn’t, I
wouldn’t be able to take this step.”
Higgens hopes to share what she calls the “magic atmosphere” with
short-term visitors who come to tour the author’s home.
“Lewis loved the house, he loved the location,” she said. “It was
all rural then.”
Lewis frequently drew from his surroundings in his writings, Higgens
said, and visitors are often surprised at what they find. “When it
snows, you can imagine Mr. Tumnus coming out of the woods . . .
because he wrote about his own backyard.”
