Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878-1969) was the founding minister of the Riverside Church, New York, New York, and one of the most prominent liberal Protestant ministers in the United States during the twentieth century. He, according to many fundamentalists, a rank heretic, has remained in death what he was to them in life: a figure of scorn and controversy, even a bête noir. Fosdick was also an advocate for peace and for African-American civil rights in the country.

Fosdick’s four hymns have never ceased to relevant.

William Henry Furness (1802-1896) was the pastor the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 1825 to 1875. He was an advocate for social justice, for he favored the abolition of slavery, opposed racism and antisemitism, and raised funds for African-American schools in the South after the Civil War.

I have found some of his hymns in my collection of hymnals, but one can read more texts here.
