SUMMARY:In Pursuit: Philadelphia and the Making of America (Screening)
DESCRIPTION:Film + conversation examining how Philadelphia’s past and present continue to shape the American story. \n\n\n\n\nEpisode 4 Overview: Common Ground (1790–1838) \nEpisode 4 of In Pursuit: Philadelphia and the Making of America examines Philadelphia as the young nation’s capital\, where the ideals of self-government are tested in everyday life. As political divisions deepen and crises like the Yellow Fever epidemic strain the city\, free Black Philadelphians build institutions and assert their rights\, with leaders like Richard Allen\, Absalom Jones\, and James Forten shaping a growing movement for equality and reform. \nThe episode then follows the rise of abolitionism and public education\, as Black and white reformers work together to expand opportunity and challenge injustice. Yet these efforts provoke fierce resistance\, culminating in mob violence\, the destruction of Pennsylvania Hall\, and the stripping of Black men’s voting rights. \nIn a city striving to create shared civic space\, this program asks a central question: how can common ground be sustained when democracy itself remains unequal?

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for an Evening with Author John Fea. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us and author John Fea for a thought-provoking conversation exploring one of the most enduring and debated questions in American history: Was America founded as a Christian nation? \nDrawing from his book Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?: A Historical Introduction\, Fea examines the topic through a careful historical lens\, moving beyond modern political rhetoric to explore the complex realities of the nation’s founding. Rather than arguing for one side or the other\, Fea invites audiences to engage directly with the historical record\, offering a nuanced perspective grounded in primary sources and scholarship. \nThis free speaker series event will explore the intersections of religion\, democracy\, history\, and national identity\, while encouraging thoughtful dialogue about how we understand America’s past today. Dr. David Krueger of the Dialogue Institute at Temple University will facilitate the conversation. \nAbout the Author \nDr. Fea is a Distinguished Fellow at the Lumen Center and the author or editor of six books\, including Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump and Why Study History?: Reflecting on the Importance of the Past. His work has appeared in publications including The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, Christianity Today\, and USA Today\, and he has appeared on CNN\, MSNBC\, NPR\, C-SPAN\, and NBC News.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Independence: Bells\, Organ\, and Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This Fourth of July\, experience the sound of history at Christ Church. \n\n\n\n\nIn this special concert and historical presentation\, the bells of Christ Church will ring out from the historic belfry in musical conversation with the church’s legendary 1702 bell displayed outside. Cast in the very same foundry as the Liberty Bell and predating it by more than 50 years\, the 1702 bell offers a rare connection to colonial Philadelphia and the earliest sounds of the city. \nThe event will also feature the magnificent pipe organ of Christ Church. Installed just eight years ago\, the instrument blends modern craftsmanship with the church’s centuries-old acoustic tradition\, filling the sanctuary with music. \nAlongside the performance\, guests will enjoy a fascinating historical talk exploring the story of the bells\, their role in the life of the church and city\, and the enduring power of sound in moments of revolution\, remembrance\, and celebration. \nCelebrate Independence Day surrounded by the sights\, sounds\, and stories of one of Philadelphia’s most historic landmarks.
