Who are we and where are we going? The Christian Church / Church of Christ was established as a result of the Restoration Movement, which was a sincere call to return to the Biblical principles and practices of the early church. One of the rallying cries was, "We're not the only Christians, but we're Christians only," a phrase meant to signify our unity with brothers and sisters of other denominations. Unfortunately, in many cases that phrase has been twisted over the years to, "We are the only Christians."
