bishops of the Eastern Church.
Among the American divines are Rev. Drs.
Langdon, Nevin, Potter and Parry.
DR. D6llinger opened the proceedings with
an address, which lasted an hour. He treated
of the relation OF the dogmatic controversy
between the Latin and Greek churches through
the whole course Of ecclesiastical history.
At the conclusion of his address the Con.
ference entered upon the business for which
it had met, whiJh was the consideration of DR..
D0llinger's plan Of confederation and intercom.
mUnion among the separated churches.
This union is to be based on a mutual re-
cognition of primitive truth, which may
enable each church to admit members of other
oOmmunions to its privileges in respect Of
divine worship and the Christian sacraments.
At the same time an actual fusion or the
sacrifice of national or traditional pecuIiarities
of form or Church constitution is not
contemplated.
An unambiguous expression of the substance
of Christian doctrine and practice as taught
by the Bible and the fathers of the ancient
Church is sought as the real bond Of union.
The discussion Of this subject occupied the
remainder of to-day's sitting.
