DR.. DolEnger has drawn up the following ecu
menlcal invitation to the Bonn Conference Of
tho present year:
The international Conference Of the friends Of
Christian Church union will be held at Bonn Aug.
u and the two following days.
The first object Of the Conference is to promote =
| TAC01Ditt0n
sn truths which form the substance Of the definitions
set forth in the creedA Of the primitive undivided
Of Cnrissendo. by perseverance In their loyalty to
the faith and organization Of the early Church, still
profess to cling.
Upon this preliminary mutual recognition of primi-
tive truth the Conference will endeavor to base
federation aud intercommunicn among the separated
churches It is hoped that reciprocal recognition is
fusion or sacrificing national or traditional pecullaE
ties Of doctrina phraseo!ogy, church constitution
ritual, may yet euahe each church to admit the NELL
bera Of other communions to those privileges in
spect Of divine worship and the Christian sacraaens
that ara secured to it's own.
The Conference ia not designed to create IN apps
rent unity by means Of ambiguous phrases, which it's
several members might constrne IN widely different
ough inquiry aud Discussion to establish she truth Of
propositions which shall simply e1preas the substance
Of Christian doctrine md practice as taught By the
form real bond Of that union which Il 90 much to
be desired.
It IL hoped that this CIRCULAR may Dc accepted n
substitute for special invisattons to the conference.
