Several weeks ago I delivered a message entitled “History in the Making.” It gave some background info on the 1906 split between Churches of Christ and Christian Churches. I relied heavily on Leroy Garrett for the historical information. Give it a listen if such things are of interest to you.
Doug Foster has a fascinating piece on the 1906 division in the Winter 2006 issue of One Body magazine, “1906 - A Play in One Act.” Back issues are $3 from P.O.E.M., P. O. Box 275, Joplin, MO 64802. Foster also wrote on the 1906 division in the April 2006 Christian Chronicle “What really happened in 1906?”
I will be presenting two classes at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures May 2-5 on the subject. “Going Separate Ways: What Really Happened in 1906? Why Churches of Christ and Christian Churches Served God Apart in the 20th Century.” “Restoring Family Ties: What’s Really Happening in 2006? How Churches of Christ and Christian Churches are Serving God Together in the 21st Century.” These two classes should be up on our website in downloadable PDF at http://www.poeministries.org by May 2.
