One Church is a celebration of the two-hundredth anniversary of Thomas Campbell's Declaration and Address (1809). But it is much more. In the spirit of that stirring plea for unity from the beginnings of the Stone-Campbell Movement, this volume restates Campbell's Thirteen Propositions and issues a new call for our churches to live out that vision of unity in the twenty-first century.Fifteen authors from Churches of Christ, Churches of Christ/Christian Churches, and Disciples of Christ examine the history of Thomas Campbell's Declaration and Address. And, they ask: how does this document apply to the modern church? This book is divided into three major sections: The historical events surrounding the Declaration and Address; an application of this document to the 21st century; and five communion meditations centered on the spirit of the restoration movement.
