Except for the last bit on Friendship, Lewis seems to not like the idea of inner rings at all. they are a vain pursuit and don't lead to excellence in life. He is forgetting one thing, however, and that is the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is the greatest inner ring that ever existed. Do not be deceived, however. The Church is not the Kingdom. They are similar, but the Church is made of sinful people, it is acknowledged, and it is often the exact same as the rings Lewis describes. The Kingdom, on the other hand, is full of people who know something that no one else knows. They know the love of God, and they know the rewards of living with the fruits of the spirit. One essential difference, however, is that the people of the kingdom make it a group goal to include everyone, instead of exclude.
