	A Brief Sketch of Antioch College: 1853-1921
		The Christian Connexion arose in the 1790's through the union of groups splintered off from the Presbyterians in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee; from the Baptists in New England; from the Methodists and other sects in Virginia and North Carolina; and from various denominations in New York and other states.
		Some of the Christians were liberal, and others were narrow in their views; the latter tended to be distrustful of education even for the ministry.
		As early as 1837, Dr. Channing urged upon the Christians "the importance of fortifying themselves with educational establishments." In 1840, Isaac N. Walter, a Christian minister from Ohio, advocated the founding of a Christian college in the Ohio Valley.

	Christian Connexion
		With these views, the Christian connexion profess to deprecate what they consider an undue influence of a mere sectarian spirit, a tenacious adherence to particular dogmas, as an infringement of Christian liberty, as adverse to the genius of the gospel and the practical influence of true religion.
		In New England, where the Christian denomination seems to have attracted attention by any public demonstration or organization as a distinct sect, it was composed, principally, of individuals who separated from the Calvinistic Baptists.
		Several periodicals have been published under the patronage of the connexion; the principal of which are, the Christian Herald at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Gospel Luminary at New York, the Christian Messenger at Georgetown, Kentucky, and the Christian Palladium at Rochester, New York.

	Israel as Bride - Joseph and Aseneth - Christianity Revealed - AskWhy! Publications

		The theological history of the Evangelical Christian Churches traces its origin to the teaching and preaching of New England Congregationalist, Horace Bushnell, generally recognized as a theological liberal.

		Elder Elias Smith, who had been regarded as one of the two chief apostles of the Christian Connexion, went over to the Universalists, in whose fellowship, after some vibrations to and fro, he finally died.
		Though mainly occupied with manual labor on the farm and personal religious nurture and discipline, I kept myself posted in regard to public affairs and what was transpiring in the world at large, so far as the newspaper of the family and occasional conversation with well-informed townsmen could serve me in that direction.
