The College Theological Society, more commonly known as The Theo, was founded in 1830 as a student society in Trinity College, Dublin Ireland. Members gather weekly throughout the term to engage in debate and listen to guest speakers in the Graduates Memorial Building.
The society's original purpose was to provide a forum for the discussion of Philosophical Theology for students of Trinity College, Dublin. Since then, it has expanded to include the consideration of various religious topics in a way that appeals to the general student body. With strong ties to the School of Religions and Theology, all of Trinity's Religion students are encouraged to become active members of the society.
Its primary aim is to promote interreligious dialogue with a focus on topical issues. Guests of the society have ranged from prestigious academics to celebrated authors to successful politicians and organisational figures, all of whom speak on a wide range of subjects. The society frequently touches upon the role of religion within world society and has covered themes including Human Rights, Current Affairs, and Environmental and Social Responsibility.
Other events hosted by the society include film screenings, debates, quizzes, parties and an annual trip to Dunderry Park.
The Theo is based in the Bram Stoker Room in the Graduates Memorial Building.The space is shared between the Theo and the University Philosophical Society. The room was named after author Abraham Stoker, one of the few people in college history to have led both the College Historical Society and the University Philosophical Society.
