The Eagle & Child Society: 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 Wheaton.

We meet monthly at The Kilns Social House in downtown Wheaton to explore a provocative topic or question while enjoying snacks, drink, and fellowship. The goal is to create a space where everyone and anyone is welcome to join the dialogue, share ideas, ask questions, and enjoy authentic community.

Whether you're deeply thoughtful or just deeply curious, the E&CS is for people who want to think well and live wisely—together.

Registration includes light snacks and two drinks (tea, coffee, wine, or beer).

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Join the conversation.

Join the mailing list to stay in the loop about topics, schedule changes, or cancellations.
