Christian Denominations: Disciples of Christ

     The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) arose from a merger of the followers of Alexander Campbell (Christian Church) and Barton W. Stone (Disciples of Christ).  Sidney Rigdon was a major leader in the movement until he quarreled with Alexander Campbell and left to join with Joseph Smith in Ohio.  Campbell denounced The Book of Mormon as heretical.
