Page "Restorationism" Paragraph 43

The Restoration Movement has seen several divisions, resulting in multiple separate groups.

Three modern groups originating in the U. S. claim the Stone-Campbell movement as their roots: Churches of Christ, Christian churches and churches of Christ, and the Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ).

Some see divisions in the movement as the result of the tension between the goals of restoration and ecumenism, with the churches of Christ and the Christian churches and churches of Christ resolving the tension by stressing restoration while the Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ) resolved the tension by stressing ecumenism.

Non-U. S. churches associated with this movement include the Churches of Christ in Australia and the Evangelical Christian Church in Canada.
