This probably comes as close to an Inklings manifesto or creed as anything I could have come up with:
Believer and nonbeliever are both voyagers. In the darkness in which the secret courses of human lives lie hidden, [we] are sometimes closer together, sometimes farther apart, than appearances indicate. For this reason, many [of us] look searchingly into the eyes of others, seeking a brother, a sister, who could be anywhere. Among us thrives a[n alliance] of inquiry and concern, even of those who disagree in interpreting the meaning of inquiry -the meaning of human spirit- in the darkness in which we live. -from Belief and Unbelief by Michael Novak
