In 1831 the forces of Alexander Campbell ("Disciples") and Barton W. Stone ("Christians") became the first major merger of churches in the American ecumenical movement. It is in the Stone-Campbell unity movement that Disciples of Christ, Christian Churches, and Churches of Christ find their common historical origin.
