This is purely a guess, but I'm wondering if someone in one of the societies also works at Strasbourg / Brussels ... ?

It's news to me that Lewis was an Anglo-Catholic, and I can't see him joining the Ordinariate, but never mind....

To be fair, Lewis was arguably nearer to being an Anglo-Catholic than an American Evangelical, but that's not saying much at all.
