The striving for a closer cooperation between the theologians of Christian, Jewish and Islamic religious communities by a commission appointed by the theology faculty's council at Berlin's Humboldt University and charged with bringing together further theologians is both vital and very welcome. However, creating a joint multi-religious or multiconfessional faculty of theology is neither necessary, fitting nor conducive, but rather to be rejected for several reasons: it would bring with it considerable disadvantages, frictions and threats to theology's status in the secular constitutional and cultural states.
