Christian Connection
Ideology | Defunct
1810 CE to 1931 CE
The Christian Connection is a Christian movement in the United States of America that develops in several places during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; it is made up of secessions from several different religious denominations.
It is influenced by settling the frontier as well as the formation of the new United States and its separation from Great Britain.
The Christian Connection claims to have no creed, instead professing to rely strictly on the Bible.
In practice, members tend to cluster around various shared theological concepts, such as an Arminian theological anthropology (i.e. doctrine of human nature), a rejection of the Calvinist doctrine of election, and an autonomous form of church government.
The Connection's periodical, the Herald of Gospel Liberty (first published on September 1, 1808), is among the first religious journals published in the United States.
