  • The rise of women leaders in the temperance[24]:728-729 and missionary movements also played an important role in separating the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. In the Christian Churches, many women spoke in public on behalf of the new Christian Woman's Board of Mission (CWBM) and Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). In contrast, the Churches of Christ largely discouraged women from speaking in public and joining activist women's organizations such as the WCTU.[25]:292-316 The Erie (IL) Christian Church ordained Clara Celestia Hale Babcock as the first known woman Disciple preacher in 1889.[
  • By 1926 a split began to form within the Disciples over the future direction of the church. Conservatives within the group began to have problems with the perceived liberalism of the leadership, upon the same grounds described earlier in the accepting of instrumental music in worship.
  • In 1968, at the International Convention of Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ), those Christian Churches that favored cooperative mission work adopted a new "provisional design" for their work together, becoming the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

  • The roots of the separation can be found in the polarization resulting from three major controversies that arose during the early 20th century.[32]:185 One, which was a source of division in other religious groups, was "the theological development of modernism and liberalism."[32]:185 The early stages of the ecumenical movement, which led in 1908 to the Federal Council of Churches, provide a second source of controversy.[32]:185 The third was the practice of open membership, in which individuals who had not been baptized by immersion were granted full membership in the church.[32]:185 Those who supported one of these points of view tended to support the others as well.
  • Support by the United Christian Missionary Society of missionaries who advocated open membership became a source of contention in 1920.[32]:185 Efforts to recall support for these missionaries failed in a 1925 convention in Oklahoma City and a 1926 convention in Memphis, Tennessee.[32]:185 Many congregations withdrew from the missionary society as a result
  • Because of this separation, many independent Christian Churches/churches of Christ are not only non-denominational, they can be anti-denominational, avoiding even the appearance or language associated with denominationalism holding true to their Restoration roots.

    Why am i researching movements in the church? For me it's a way to get inside and understand opinions of the time, since it was not my lifetime. I'm considering some social/civil opinions to be influenced by which church you belonged to or creed followed.

  • Restoration Movement
  • The instrument was added amidst much controversy at Midway.
  • What initially caused the problem was that the singing was deplorable. Pinkerton said that the singing would, "scare even the rats from worship."

  • How could one little piano cause so much devastation among brethren?

    The Restoration Movement was more than just introduction of a instrument to signing during worship. More information is in the pdf files I can't highlight from the church web site.

    This is a beautiful spot that in the 1820s-30s was considered to be on the edge of the town - now part of the Martin Luther King Neighborhood - and was opened to accommodate the huge numbers of Lexington residents who died in the cholera plagues of 1833 & 1849. The Episcopal Woman's Club restored the grounds and the historic Sexton's Cottage after WWII when many preservation efforts began to be more aggressive in saving the early landscapes in and around Lexington.

  • "The first orphan home under a board of directors, and supported by churches of Christ, since the beginning of the Restoration was organized in Midway, Ky. The charter for this home, known as the Kentucky Female Orphan School, was granted by the General Assembly February 23, 1847.
  • Although the name of this institution was Kentucky Female Orphan School, it was also a home.
  • Dr. Pinkerton was interested in the education of girls it was natural that his desire to be of help to orphan girls should take the form of a school which should be to them not only a home, but also a means of education.'

  • these men were the leaders of such forward movements as (1) Cooperative meetings; (2) Organized cooperation; (3) Bible Society; (4) Church support of Schools; (5) American Christian Missionary Society; (6) Mechanical Instrumental Music in the worship! If at any time these forward works were (or are) opposed, you are a "crank" and have a "hobby." These men of the forward movement are the kind of men brother Totty delights in being identified with; and the works of these men are the kind of works brother Totty delights in defending, according to his Advocate article.
  • "What was in the mind of Pinkerton from the beginning of his 'meditations' on the subject, and that which Parrish and Johnson and their colleagues approved, was not an 'orphanage' or an 'orphan asylum,' but a school for orphan girls equal in dignity and in its prescribed courses of study to 'any seminary or academy within the State'" (
