Letter to Prof. H. Bavinck about the one-sidedness of his compromise proposal for ministerial training. In the unification of 1892 (see 1892.16 and 1892.18) the two churches had each brought an educational institution for pastors to the merger. This created a sensitive situation with respect to the question of unifying pastoral education. With an eye toward the upcoming general synod in August, Bavinck (Theologische School, Kampen) published a compromise proposal—Theologische School en Vrije Universiteit. Een voorstel tot vereeniging (Kampen: J.H. Bos, 1899)—at the beginning of February 1899. After Bavinck published a second brochure on the question in May 1899, Kuyper abruptly suspended his series Ineengroeing [Growing together], ending the series occasioned by Bavinck’s first brochure prematurely with the thirteenth article. The primary reason for this reaction was that Bavinck had failed from the beginning to consult with the Vrije Universiteit about his compromise proposal, which resulted in the production of a one-sided document.
After Bavinck sought to correct Kuyper’s perception of his proposal in De Bazuin, both F.L. Rutgers and Kuyper sent letters to the editor to refresh Bavinck’s memory. Both letters were also reprinted in De Heraut, no. 1125, July 16, 1899. In the same issue of De Heraut, Kuyper provided an extensive explanation of the fact that he suddenly suspended his discussion of the question in De Heraut shortly before the Synod of Groningen (see 1899.10).
