Campbellite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that Campbellites be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)

Any of the religious groups historically descended from the Restoration Movement, a religious reform movement in the early 1800s in the United States. The major groups are:

• The Church of Christ movement
• Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
• The Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ

Warning: Some (though not all) members of these groups consider the term "Campbellite" derogatory to one extent or another; others deem it a neutral tribute to the origins of their churches in the work of Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell (among others).
