This article is unique in the fact that it talks about a denomination (the DoC), that has history with several other "denominations," Church of Christ, Independent Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, and many others along the way. [1] This section is misleading in that it says it's early history is shared with these other "denominations" yet it was not until the late 1960's early 1970's that the DoC was an official denomination in and of its self. The Restoration Movement has it's own article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restoration_Movement As does Churches of Christ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Christian_Churches/Churches_of_Christ I recommend that we divide the article into that of History and the present, recognising the fact that the Disciples of Christ was a name that applies to both the joint venture with the Independent Christian Church as well as a current denomination. If we leave the articles together, there should be more recognition of the shared history, instead of an expansive view over the early restoration movement (Founding through 1920's) and just one paragraph [2] mentions the split of CC (DoC) and Independent Christian Churches/Church of Christ [3] 75.109.203.138 ( talk) 23:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
My previous post was written in some rush, I think a portal for the Restoration movement [4], following the Baptist model to an extent [5], could be helpful. As well expanding the "restructure" section [6], at the very least linking to the time line in the Independent Christian Church article [7]. The expansion and improvement of the restoration movement article will allow for a better CC (DoC) article I agree

I further more think that the first and perhaps most helpful manner of fixing this would be to create a portal for the Restoration Movement. Preston A. Vickrey (humbly) ( talk) 17:36, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

According to this the church is not Congregationalistic. -- Runoilija6543 ( talk) 11:43, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
According to the earwig report, the article is copied from the listed source. That combined with the fact that the URL is used as a source multiple times, I am 90% sure this is a copyright violation, hence I have added the template to the top of the article.

Don't get me wrong, they were legalistic, and smug just like Lutherans, just like Spaniard Catholics (and yes Spaniards are not Roman Catholic).
But I always associated them with the Bible Belt, albeit far more hateful and legalistic than Baptists, and so hateful they make the Westboro Baptist Church look like idiots on a Jerry Springer or Richard Bey episode. They were not born of civilization, but rather the Great Awakening, in which they claimed the mainline Protestant churches, such as Lutheranism, as well as the other non-Protestant majorities Spaniard Catholicism (although Spaniards en masse didn't start coming until later in the 19th century)and Judaism of being too worldly and entrenched in worldlines. Regardless of how they may feel about the Confederacy (which was hatred), I don't think they'd be fond of the worldview of New York or Illinois or Minnesota (regardless of whether they were liberal or conservative) RobertFL1991 ( talk) 23:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
