A LETTER to the Boston Association of Congregational Ministers, touching certain matters of their Theology. By Theodore Parker, Minister of the Second Church in Roxbury. Boston: Little and Brown. 1845.

“Liberal Christianity,” according to the showing of Mr. Parker, does not differ very materially from the liberalism exercised by the followers of St. Ignatius. We shall not be surprised, after reading Mr. Parker's Letter, to hear next that the ruined nunnery in Charleston has been rebuilt and converted into an inquisition on the conservative principle of the good old times; or that some of our liberal friends have been indulging in the old fashioned pastime of an auto da fr. If the “Boston Association” should ever condescend to make replies to the string of questions which Mr. Parker has put to them, (and we do not see how they can avoid doing so,) we hope to have the privilege of reading them.
