Just Christians

It has been claimed (I've not done the research myself) that US President Teddy Roosevelt was in favor of legal immigration, with the stipulation that the immigrant endeavor to become fully integrated into America, learning the language and the history of America, and becoming an American, not a This-American or a That-American, which spurs division rather than unity.

As I have understood it, this is the essential thrust of the Restoration Movement, to become a Christian, not a This-Christian or a That-Christian, not a Baptist Christian or a Paulite Christian or even a Church of Christ-er Christian.

I believe this is a good goal, and even though the implementation of this goal has been marred by our imperfections, the "Church of Christ" "denomination" at least pays lip-service to this goal.

Continue to reject the failures in the attempts by the Church of Christ-er Christians towards this goal, but I encourage you to join with them in the goal itself - just be a Christian, not a Flavored-Christian, which spurs division rather than unity.
