One of the principal figures at the current Vatican Ecumenical Council, Cardinal Bea was encouraged to come to Boston by Richard Cardinal Cushing.
Augustin Cardinal Bea, head of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, will come to Harvard this Spring. He has accepted an invitation from President Pusey to attend the Roman Catholic-Protestant Colloquium to be held at the Harvard Divinity School in late March.
Cardinal Bea is widely regarded as the intellectual leader of the world movement for Christian unity. For the last three years he has conducted an extensive international letter writing campaign on behalf of the unity movement.
Also, Cardinal Bea has given a number of addresses on the subject of Christian Unity, including one delivered last year to a convention of French intellectuals.
While in the United States, Cardinal Bea will attend convocation ceremonies at Boston University, where he will receive an honorary degree. He is expected to give a number of lectures throughout New England.
