From 1938 to 1947, in country houses across England, J.H. Oldham convened a small group of thinkers four times a year to ask what civilization might rest on once fascism had passed. T.S. Eliot, Karl Mannheim, Jacques Maritain, John Baillie, Michael Polanyi, and Walter Moberly were among those who met, talked, wrote, argued, and prayed together across a decade of correspondence and conviction.
“Wherever there has been a revival of Christianity of an enduring kind it has generally found expression in the spontaneous activity of small groups meeting for mutual encouragement, fellowship, and common effort.”
— J.H. OLDHAM
