Faith, Freedom & Justice

As the United States celebrates its 250th Anniversary, Americans have an opportunity to reflect not only on the founding of our nation, but also on the values that have sustained it through its greatest triumphs and its greatest challenges. Among those values, none has been more influential than faith. From the first settlers seeking religious liberty to the abolitionists who challenged slavery, from the ministers who inspired the American Revolution to the pastors, rabbis, priests, and faith leaders who marched for civil rights, faith has been woven into the fabric of America's story. Our nation has never been perfect, but throughout our history, men and women of faith have continually called America to become more faithful to its highest ideals.
