  • The Early History of Transylvania University
    The Early History of Transylvania University An Archetype of Restoration Movement Institutions of Higher Education James M. Owston in partial fulfillment of LS 758 History and Development of Higher Education Administration Dr. Rudy Pauley Marshall University Graduate College November 19, 1998 Transylvania University 2 The Early History of Transylvania University An Archetype of Restoration Movement Institutions of Higher Education The Disciples of Christ or Restoration Movement has its genesis in the early part of the nineteenth century. As the movement moved westward, individuals and complete congregations of other religious persuasions aligned themselves with the new movement. As churches were established on the frontier, a need for grammar school, secondary and higher education followed. Many individuals seeing this need, established schools. In 1836, the Disciples higher educational mission began with what would eventually become Transylvania University. The early history of Transylvania is an archetype of the movement’s educational experiences. To fully understand the dynamics of the establishment of Transylvania University, it is necessary to understand the movement’s origin and growth. Four independent movements seeking New Testament simplicity of faith and practice are credited with the laying the foundation of the greater movement. These early leaders are as follows: James O'Kelly, Abner Jones and Elias Smith, Barton W. Stone, and Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The initial move to denominational independence occurred when, following a disagreement on church government, James O'Kelly separated from the Methodist- Episcopal church in 1793. Preferring a congregational government, he formed what was originally known as the Republican Methodists. Located in Virginia and North Carolina, this group of churches began using the name of “Christian” in 1794 (Jennings, 1919, pp.

  • Stone-Campbell Connections – by Charles Dailey
    Page 1 of 9 Restoration History LESSON 5 — Stone-Campbell Connections – by Charles Dailey (This short lesson series was designed for a church class and gives an overview of our heritage in being like the church of the New Testament era. The series is not designed for the college classroom with documentation on each point. We have relied heavily on the class notes of Dr. Roger Chambers. ) Introduction: 1. In the first lesson, we noted that God used at least five different men in the U.S. to lead break outs from the established denominations. They were aimed at ditching creeds and using the Bible alone as the only rule of faith and practice. 2. In the second and third lesson, we saw that God was working in the lives of the men of the Campbell family, at least Thomas the father and his oldest son Alexander. 3. In the fourth lesson we noted the work of Walter Scott, Racoon John Smith, Isaac Errett and J. W. McGarvey. 4. In this final lesson, we will look at some outcomes of the Stone-Campbell Movement. I. The Music of the Movement A. Campbell had hoped to solidify the movement by promoting a single hymnal for all of the churches. That did not work, and a number of hymnals were published by other leaders in the movement. B. Many songs and hymns were written by members of the Stone- Campbell churches. They not only sang the great traditional hymns of the church with zest, but they loved their own “Bringing in the Sheaves,” “There Is a Habitation,” “The Beautiful Garden of Prayer,” “The Way of the Cross Leads Home,” “Tell Mother I’ll Be There,” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” .
