A Fellowship of Thoughtful Conversation
Conversation. Community. Ideas worth examination.
Inspired by the legendary gatherings of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the rest of the Inklings at Oxford’s Eagle & Child pub, the Eagle & Child Society (E&CS) brings that same spirit of lively, thoughtful conversation to Chicago.
We meet monthly at The Kilns in downtown Wheaton to explore a provocative topic or question over good food, drink, and fellowship. Our aim is to create a space where everyone and anyone is welcome to join the dialogue, share ideas, ask hard questions, and enjoy authentic community.
