In this very first episode, we revisit the 1994 Symposium on the Future of Liberal Religion, a key moment in Fountain Street Church’s 125th-anniversary celebration. Five ministers—Bruce Bode, Don Hoekstra, Sue Cinnamon, Duncan Littlefair, and David Rankin—debate what it means to advance the liberal tradition.

Is liberal religion defined by content or simply a framework for exploration? How do we balance tradition with progress, individualism with community, and spirituality with social action? Their insights remain strikingly relevant today.
