New Movement
Since 2005, the congregations under Kip McKean's leadership are the International Christian Churches. In 2007, McKean moved to Los Angeles to lead a congregation of this new movement known as the City of Angels International Christian Church. The International Christian Church now has 40 congregations in 20 nations, 1,581 in membership, and weekly attendance is over 2,500. Although the International Church of Christ and the International Christian Church share almost identical doctrines and practices in ministry, the divisive issues revolved around McKean's conviction that only those who share the convictions of the first century church and great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) are true Disciples of Christ. Both churches continue to operate, worship, and evangelize in an incredibly similar way, but their differences in conviction continue to separate them.

Famous quotes containing the word movement:
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
“A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
