" '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"--P. [4] of cover.

Foster, and Clinton J. Holloway"--P. 12.
