Talk:Alexander Campbell (minister)

message: Is this correct? "He was also the compiler of a hymnal which consisted of lyrics without any musical notations, which he considered to be superfluous and hence sinful."
The word "sinful" there seems like a misrepresentation.  Anyone able to back that up? Carltonh 15:15, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The term Campbellites is one that was common among the instrumental churches from the Campbell/ Stone movement in its late 19th century expansion. Campbell himself did not like the term for the core of his leadership went to leading people to follow Jesus, not any other man.  I do not believe the Nickname paragraph has any place here.
 
The recent edit that suggested "Campbell's beliefs were considered aborrent by "orthodox" Christians" has no basis. It is unsupported by any source material. It borders very closely on vandalism. At best it is NPOV. 
I removed the paragraph so it can be discussed here, without detracting from the article.John Park (talk) 19:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Campbellites - the name 

message: Should the name of the page be changed from "Alexander Campbell (clergyman)" to "Alexander Campbell (reformer)"?  Campbell did not believe in a lay/clergy distinction and the elimination of such a distinction is characteristic of the churches that are part of Campbell's heritage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.69.187.2 (talk) 19:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Instead of "development of non-denominational Christian churches" there should be read "development of non-confessional Christian denominations". A denomination is a (religious) community with a name (Latin nomen), and they all have names. The denominations inspired by Campbell have no - or want to be without - confessions, i.e. authoritative summaries of the faith beside the Bible. --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 19:28, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
