BEYOND THE STONE-CAMPBELL MOVEMENT?
-Gary Holloway
Two interesting comments I have recently received:
"Why does World Convention limit itself to unity within the Stone Campbell
Movement?"
"Our young people do not care about unity among Disciples, Christian Churches, and Churches of Christ. They care about unity with all Christians."
In fact, our mission statement says World Convention exists "to provide a means of relating the global family to the whole Church of Jesus Christ."
If that is true, then why does World Convention work to connect those in the Stone-Campbell Movement worldwide?
First of all, we are not working toward a slightly larger sectarianism, thinking that "our" churches are the only ones. Instead we are affirming our heritage of Christian unity. Indeed, from the beginning our movement thought its only reason to exist was to promote
unity among all Christians.
Secondly, much of our work consists of meetings and dialogues worldwide with
Christians from other traditions. Meetings like the Global Christian Forum, Christian Churches Together in the USA, and the meeting of Secretaries of World Christian Communions.
So as you support World Convention through your prayers, work, and gifts, you are participating in the work of God to unite all who believe in Jesus, so that the world might believe in him.
