Student Association

Welcome to the study association of the Theological University of Utrecht.

The study association is called: עין = Ayin.

‘But it is as it is written, What eye has not seen, nor ear heard, what has not entered into a human heart, that God has destined for those who love Him.’ 1 Corinthians 2:9 (HSV)

The student association Ayin believes that a theologian develops only when he is in contact with other (future) theologians and when they begin to reflect together on theological issues. The student association Ayin is therefore committed to connecting (future) theologians with each other so that one can achieve personal formation and deepening. The student association Ayin knows itself called by God to seek the diversity within the Christian faith and is open to other perspectives.
