Durham Theology Society is a community of people sharing a mutual interest in Theology and the Study of Religion, providing a forum for discussion in a relaxed social setting. Whether or not you study Theology or Religion, this is a chance to explore the fundamental questions of life in a friendly, good-humoured and non-pressurised atmosphere. We’re non-faith specific, non-denominational, and non-
dogmatic. We want to ensure that lively theological discussion is facilitated in Durham, whether over a glass of wine, through regular updates on our page, or in formal debate. During the course of the year, we will be running a series of debates, trips and social events, not least our annual summer ball. Look out for our regular Tea-ology sessions - a chance for relaxed tea-loving discussion with staff and students! This Society provides a rare space in which Durhamites of many different faiths and backgrounds can unite in exploring those existential and anthropological questions which impact the way we view the world. Membership in £5/year, £10/life, £15/eternal*
*No posthumous refunds.

We realise that faith is a subject very central to many people’s lives. We also realise that theology touches upon many subjects that people will find personal. Durham Theology Society aims to be a safe and friendly forum for the exploration of all systems of belief, and all issues related to those systems. As such, there will inevitably be a risk of offence involved both on this forum and in any activity run by the society. We wish to encourage a plurality of voices, and this inevitably will lead to disagreements. However, we also wish to make everybody feel equally comfortable in participating in our events. In order to facilitate open discussion without alienating people, Durham University Theology Society operates a 'Safe Space' policy. We request that all comments on this forum and at our events remain polite and considerate of others’ feelings, and that, in return, all viewpoints will be treated with a spirit of charity.
