Stone-Campbell Dialogue
The Stone-Campbell Dialogue brings together the three streams of the Restoration Movement that tie their origins to Thomas and Alexander Campbell and Barton Warren Stone. These three are the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Churches of Christ, and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. Begun in 1999, the Dialogue is an effort to bring healing and understanding to the rifts between our families. The goal is "to develop relationships and trust within the three streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement through worship and through charitable and frank dialogue "that the world may believe."
