Excerpt from Program of the International Centennial Celebration and Conventions of the Disciples of Christ (Christian Churches) The people who have come to be known as Disciples of Christ or Christians, because of their refusal to be designated by mere party names, have deemed it to be both proper and praiseworthy to recognize the origin of the religious movement which they repre sent - the youngest of these great historic Reformations - by holding, in the city of Pittsburgh, Penn., near the scene of its birth, in this good year of our Lord 1909, a great Centennial Convention as the culmination of a series of Centennial endeavors wortt to celebrate an event which, under God, has become a source of blessing to the Church universal. As our own free and independent government of the United States dates its origin from the Declaration of Independence, which set forth the reasons Why such a government should be formed, and the fundamental princi ples which should govern it, so it has been thought that this religious movement in behalf of a united church should properly date its origin from the publication of the Declaration and Address, which occurred at Washington, Penn., Sept. 7, 1809. This document, written by Thomas Campbell, and later read and fully endorsed by his son, Alexander Campbell, contains the reasons which led to the new movement for religious reformation, and the germinal principles which have been dominant in the history of the movement.

What does it mean to be part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)? A denomination that intentionally unites Christians who have different ideas about what it means to be Christian is bound to struggle to agree on its core values and beliefs — but respected Disciples Michael Kinnamon and Jan Linn believe unity is possible through reforming worship, relationships, and mission. A timely update of their landmark book, Disciples identifies common ground and continues the conversation started by Stone and Campbell two centuries ago on the American frontier.
This collection presents a radical rethinking of the secularization of American public life.
