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:
“I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“I’m real ambivalent about [working mothers]. Those of use who have been in the women’s movement for a long time know that we’ve talked a good game of “go out and fulfill your dreams” and “be everything you were meant to be.” But by the same token, we want daughters-in-law who are going to stay home and raise our grandchildren.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
