I was shocked to find that the first objective of my college seems to relate to the promotion of religion. Although this is a continuation of the founding objectives, there’s been a bit of science done since then. To quote the web site:
“Its primary charitable purpose is the pursuit of education, religion, learning and research,”
Although religion and religious rituals get a higher ranking in the supporting statutes establishing the college.
