The purpose of the Saint Anselm Theological Society is to provide the Anselmian community with an opportunity to pursue the dictum: "Faith seeking understanding." This is accomplished in the following three ways: (1) by providing opportunities for theological discussion among the members of the Anselmian community, (2) by inviting students, faculty members, and distinguished theologians from the world at large to present papers about, and insights into, the various branches of theology (biblical, historical, moral and systematic), and (3) by providing outings to further educate the Anselmian community in these branches of theology.
