Thank you so much for your hard work. This is inspirational and much needed. Please continue this mission, I'm your partner from NYC and soon will be in Puebla, Mexico (God permitting, of course). God bless you, team Common Grounds!!
Unfortunately, the more sectarian and legalistic voices within the Stone Campbell Movement (SCM) often get noticed more than those who love unity and reject sectarian perspectives. The SCM is very diverse; the major groups are the Churches of Christ, the Independent Christian Churches, the Disciples of Christ, and the International Churches of Christ. Some are more ecumenical than others. But even within each of these, there is great diversity. The founders of the SCM envisioned a unity movement. Common Grounds Unity is seeking to re-envision this unity plea, not only for the SCM but beyond as well.
It is overwhelming how the aristocracy used religion as a form of dominion. How could a slave owner reform the true church of God? Where was the church before the restoration movement? Now, had he left the planet? All man-made churches are just institutions with different ideologies. I do not claim that they do not have the approval of God, because their mercy is immeasurable, but to say that a slave owner who even publicly defended slavery, one of the most cruel things in history, by the way, reformed the church of God is something at least outrageous.
We know the history of your cult. Even if you deny it we all know who y'all are. And where you came from. We know it started from a movement that started in Scotland And Campbell brought here after he arrived from his shipwreck trip. We know about Stone and Scott. You may be ashamed of your history and I do understand that. But to say your religious denomination did t start with Stone and Campbell makes you look very deceived even more so
É entristecedor como a aristocracia utilisou a religião como forma de domínio.Como poderia um dono de escravos reformar a a verdadeira igreja de Deus? Onde estava a igreja antes do movimento de restauração? Ora , havia saído do planeta ? Todas as igrejas criadas por homens são apenas instituições com ideologias distintas entre si. Nao afirmo que não tenham a aprovação de Deus , porque sua misericórdia é imensurável, mas dizer que um dono de escravos que inclusive defendia publicamente a escravidão, umas das coisas mais cruéis da história, diga-se de passagem , reformou a igreja de Deus é algo no minimo ultrajante.

And as far as unity goes your movement even still today are the ones that brought I. Divisions with the normal Churches and even among yourselves.

20:11 "The five finger exercise".... telling phrase from a church that chops up other people's melodeons with an axe.
