This edition offers a window into early American conversations among progressive Christians, Reform Jews, Ethical Culturists, and others. It includes framing remarks on the federation’s purpose, the evolution of biblical interpretation, and the role of religion in public life, all grounded in a spirit of openness and mutual respect.

Discussions on the Bible, authority, and the development of religious thought.
Topics covering social questions, reform, and the responsibilities of faith communities.
Addresses and reflections from leaders across multiple denominations and beliefs.
