We have just prayed together, seeking to stand united in the Divine Presence.

This is sufficient to indicate the character of our union.

In consideration of the ills afflicting the Church--which in substance are the result of discord between her mutable human element and her immutable element of Divine Truth--we wish, in our desire that He may remove these discords, to become one in the God of Truth; and we wish to feel ourselves united.
Such a union has no need of community of opinion on certain subjects, although many of us hold many opinions in common.

We do not propose to create a collective movement, either public or private, in order to bring about this or that reform.

I am old enough to remember the time of the Austrian domination.
