Restoration Movement / Stone-Campbell tradition

The Restoration Movement, often called the Stone-Campbell tradition, is a nineteenth-century North American movement seeking renewal and unity through restoration of New Testament Christianity.

It produced several related but distinct streams, including Churches of Christ, Christian Churches, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Common historical themes include Scripture, Christian unity, baptism, congregational life, and resistance to binding later creeds; each stream has developed differently.

Worship and sacramental practice vary, though communion and preaching commonly hold central place.

Governance ranges from congregational autonomy to denominational structures.
