  • 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.

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.
