Is the Restoration Movement (RM) ready for unity? Why would it be ready now? There has been a significant shift in philosophy in the past 20 years in western thought. Although many in Stone-Campbell churches have seen post-modernism as a bane, it is not all bad and opens doors which were previously closed.

There are many who would like to see more unity with in the Restoration Movement. Over the past few years, greater effort has been put forth to enable dialogue between groups. A cappella and instrumental congregations have had meetings as well as ICOC and churches of Christ in the past few years. Conferences and debates are useful for doctrinal and church culture discussions. Although these meetings and forums are good, they do not address unity within our fellowship at an individual level.
