Fairfied Conference

The Fairfield Conference was a 1950 meeting among leading theologians from different Christian traditions, primarily in the United States, aimed at promoting unity and mutual understanding among denominational lines. It sought to clarify doctrinal differences and identify common beliefs, fostering dialogue and cooperation. The conference emphasized the importance of theological clarity, academic rigor, and respectful communication, ultimately encouraging churches to work together in mission and social issues while respecting each other's distinctive traditions. It played a role in enhancing ecumenical relationships during that period, promoting unity without compromising individual denominations' doctrines.
