As a member of the Church of Ireland, I am glad to see education being removed from the sectarian field, but I wonder whether there is an historical place for the school within TCD. The university has Christian Brothers and various groups, but why kick out the Church of Ireland? It seems daft. The school has changed well, at least in the beginning. I do not know what it is like now. What used to be the Church of Ireland school of divinity had some distinguished theologians. It became a theological faculty with wonderful, free thinking individuals such as Professor Sean Freyne. I applaud this, but must the university kick out the Church of Ireland?
