In this College there are three religious groups, all of them interested therefore in God. They are necessarily interested in the truth about God, for if their existence has any purpose then God is that purpose, and if there is no God then there is no need for the organisations at all. Moreover, if they are not interested in the truth about Him and His truths, then they are perhaps, deceiving themselves in error, a folly which is better left to fools. A Chair of Theology should be a common aim.

The few atheists, Marxian Communists or materialists and the many "Not Surers" or Agnostics usually prefer to disregard the problem of God as uncomfortable or ridiculous. A Chair of Theology may not convince any of them but at least it will provide those interested (who will welcome it if they are as anxious after truth and reason as they proclaim) with the opportunity for looking into the matter.
