More than fifty students and faculty representing other colleges will meet this week-end at Rollins College here, to consider present-day American religious thinking, and survey the relationships of the Protestants, Roman Catholics and Jews in America. The student body, faculty, and visiting citizens from many states will take part.
Three national organizations are participating in the parley: the Religious Education Association of America; the National Conference of Jews and Christians, of which Hon. Newton D. Baker, Professor Carleton J. H. Hayes, and Mr. Roger W. Straus are chairmen, and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
Speakers from New England, New York, and the Middle West will participate in the forums and round-table discussions. Dr. William Adams Brown, Presbyterian, will preside at the sessions. Father J. Elliott Ross, Roman Catholic Chaplain at Columbia University, will speak at the opening session Friday evening, April 19. The other speakers will be Rabbi Solomon Goldman, of Cleveland, Professor Cornelius Kruse, Philosopher of Wesleyan University, Connecticut.
Round-table with these four speakers, and Rev. Everett Clinchy of New York, will be held to talk over the implications of religion in this age.
