What do Stone-Campbell churches (Churches of Christ, Christian Churches, Disciples of Christ) add to the discussion of the emerging church?

Answer: In “A Generous Orthodoxy,” I offer a few comments about Restorationist movements in church history – I think they would generally be relevant to the Stone-Campbell movement. Most Restorationist churches have wonderful high ideals, and often related to the need for generosity in avoiding sectarianism. Sadly, there is often a fine line between “we accept people of all denominations” and ‘we accept people who leave all denominations.” Even so, the courage to go back to the New Testament and be willing to change anything that gets in the way of living the gospel is, to me, a heroic feature of all restorationist churches.
