A seminar to discuss the relations between the three leading religious faiths in this country will be held here on May 14 and 15, when Protestants, Catholics and Jews will discuss methods of reaching a better understanding. This is the third seminar of its kind to be held in the United States, the two previous ones having been held last year at Columbia and Harvard Universities. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise will be one of the speakers at the conference, which is expected to draw the largest representation of the three faiths ever assembled.
Among the questions which the seminar will discuss are: “Are Jews, Catholics and Protestants to preserve their cultural differences (in philosophy, religion, the arts and folkways), or are they to be assimilated in the American melting pot conception?”
