He presided over the Old Catholic Congress of 1871, and was at that of 1872, but took no other part in the movement. He was president of the Bonn Conferences in 1875 and 1876. He died January 11, 1890. His chief works translated into English are, History of the Church (4 volumes): Hippolytus and Calistus: — The Gentile and the Jew in the Courts of the Temple of Christ.
