I also favour "through the Son" because it balances the Spirit's
participation in the birth of the Son.  I could imagine such an
Ecumenical Council being called but the attendance of the
post-Reformation Churches could be challenging.  I imagine such
international Protestant groups attending representing Anglicans,
Lutherans, Reformed Churches and the World Council of Churches, but
getting the more recent purely Evangelical and Pentecostal churches to
attend could be challenging.

Mind you there have always been schismatics produced from the
Ecumenical Councils.

 face, and hands, and wings, and pinions, and arms, and back, and feet.
