AUTHOR: Alexander
Campbell (12 September 1788 – 4 March 1866) was an early leader in the Second
Great Awakening of the religious movement that has been referred to as the
Restoration Movement, or Stone-Campbell Movement. The Campbell wing of the
movement was said to begin with his father Thomas Campbell's publication in
1809 in Washington County, Pennsylvania, of The Declaration and Address of the
Christian Association of Washington. In 1832 the group of reformers led by the
Campbells merged with a similar group that began in Kentucky under the
leadership of Barton W. Stone. Several American church groups trace their
history to the Campbells' leadership, including the Churches of Christ, the
Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, Evangelical Christian Church
in Canada, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Alexander Campbell
is also the founder of Bethany College in Bethany, West Virginia.
