Paul Heelas told me that Paul Tillich probably would not be allowed to teach at the University of Lancaster. Vorbee ( talk) 06:29, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Early in the life of the university, it decided to have a department that studied religion in a neutral way, rather than a department that promoted Christianity. This idea is an important one that had been widely discussed across the world by Ninian Smart, who was appointed as the first Professor of Religious Studies at Lancaster. Religious Studies as mentioned above is teaching about religion in general and in a neutral academic and secular way, not promoting a particular religion. It really has nothing to do with being a secular university. All UK universities funded by the government are in effect secular. -- Bduke ( talk) 22:17, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
A reliable source once informed me (the reliable source being Paul Heelas) that the University of Lancaster is not allowed to have a Theology department, as it is a secular university. Does any one think this is worthy of a mention somewhere in the article? Although the university does not have a Theology department, it always got very good research ratings for its secular Religious Studies department. Vorbee ( talk) 20:12, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Professor John Shanklin at Brookhaven national laboratory in the USA is probably the most accomplished scientist to pass through Lancaster.
In fact Shanklin certainly deserves a Wiki page. Rustygecko ( talk) 20:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
I edited the sentence about the lake to make it clear that the lake was created some 60-70 years before the founding of the university. I'm not sure, however, when it was given the name Lake Carter. Certainly before I became a student there in 1971. PhilUK ( talk) 20:08, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
I have never seen this gold coat of arms used by the university (or outside of Wikipedia). I can't find a source for its construction on the commons file. The university only uses the grey one on their website. dummelaksen ( talk • contribs) 17:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
