PUSEY, D.D. REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HEBREW, AND CANON OF CHRIST CHURCH. SOLD BY JAMES PARKER & CO., OXFORD, AND 377, STRAND, LONDON; RIVINGTONS, LONDON, OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE; AND POTT, YOUNG & CO., NEW YORK. 1876. Project Canterbury edition AD 2002 On the Clause “And the Son,” by Edward Bouverie Pusey. (1876) MY DEAREST FRIEND, YOU wish me to state briefly my thoughts, as to the restoration of intercommunion with the Greek Church, and, as bearing on this, what I desiderate in the propositions adopted at the Bonn Conference, and how they could be modified, so that I could myself accept them. This I do the more readily, because it was partly at my instance that you undertook that journey to Bonn, at much inconvenience, I believe, to yourself, and because I know that we are substantially of one mind on this subject, as on others. I hope that I may do this less unsatisfactorily, if I embody in it, what I wrote, two years ago on this, the saddest of all our sad controversies. For it is, in the end, a controversy as to the Being of God, among those who really believe in God, who prize right and true belief in God above all things, who, each, doubt not that they have the right belief, and who do believe the same one with the other, if they could but look calmly at each other’s mode of speech.
