→Disciples of Christ
From the end of the Civil War to 1917, [[David Lipscomb]] dominated the Churches of Christ and managed to balance the views of Campbell and Stone. After Lipscomb's death, the Churches of Christ moved away from the [[premillennialism]] of Stone and Lipscomb and embraced Campbell's views. Foy Wallace, whose views prevailed among the Churches of Christ from the 1930s through the 1950s, continued the movement away from the thought of Stone and Lipscomb.<ref>Richard T.

More specifically, the Disciples have evolved into a centralized denomination, whereas the Churches of Christ maintain an earlier system of fellowship between congregations which does not involve any surrender of congregational independence. In addition, the Disciples of Christ are active members of the National and World Councils of Churches and are ardently committed to social change. The Churches of Christ tend to avoid political controversies.
More specifically, the Disciples have evolved into a centralized denomination which has increasingly become theologically and politically liberal. The denomination is an active member of both the National and World Councils of Churches and is ardently committed to social change. On the other hand, the Churches of Christ maintain an earlier system of fellowship between congregations which does not involve any surrender of congregational independence. Furthermore, the Churches of Christ are theologically conservative and tend to avoid political controversies (though they will speak out against abortion and homosexuality).
