Controversy
Controversy surrounding McKean started in 1977, when funding from the Houston Memorial Church of Christ was withdrawn from the Heritage Chapel Church of Christ. This funding was used to support McKean as a campus minister at Eastern Illinois University. Many college and university campuses banned McKean's groups throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, a letter written by a minister of the ICOC caused followers to once again question McKean's methods.
McKean's doctrine and practices continue to be the subject of controversy because of his conviction that only through the efforts of true Disciples of the ICC and churches with the same convictions will God ultimately evangelize the world.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
