Through study of our shared national Scripture (and at times our varied religious scriptures), we will explore how we can help (in the words of Langston Hughes) &#8220;Let America be America again.&#8221; We will start with local clergy first in conversation, then we will expand to include our congregations, and then we will plan and host tens, hundreds, or thousands of local rituals celebrating our nation&#8217;s 250th next summer.  </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.faith250.org/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Go to the faith250 website&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.faith250.org/"><span>Go to the faith250 website</span></a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.americanscripture.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Looking for more ways to support your congregation&#8217;s civic life, curious about American Scripture Project, or just want to keep up with us?
