You cannot separate theology any longer by sharp lines from psychology and sociology. The open doors of the college chapel, into which no man is henceforth driven, out of which no man is excluded, in and out of which men pass spontaneously and freely, give a true symbol of the way in which theology and life - what men have loved to call the sacred and what men have dared to call the profane - flow freely...
