The restorationists assert that the liturgical implementation after Vatican II was not in continuity with the tradition that preceded it.
Moreover, the restorationists hold to the position that the origins of the liturgical movement are to be found in Germany in the 1930s, thereby diminishing the importance of the work of scholars in other countries like Belgium, England, France, or the United States itself.
Among the restorationists there is an attempt to downplay the priesthood of the faithful and to emphasize the role of the priest as acting in the person of Christ the head.

 The Restorationist Controversy
Thus the Restorationist controversy was at once a theological dispute, a cluster of wrenching adjustments in personal relationships, and an institutional crisis of the fledgling Universalist denomination.
A Restorationist sympathizer, Providence minister David Pickering, thus far a neutral observer in the controversy, was roused by a perceived drift toward Deism.
In this period many Restorationist clergy served Unitarian churches, and there was even a rapprochement between some MAUR ministers, especially those closely linked with Adin Ballou, and a Unitarian party led by Bernard Whitman, minister in Waltham, Massachusetts.

But the most important contributor to the split was the conservatives' belief that restorationists were the "one true church" replicating the Primitive Church, which, given their anti-credal and anti-denominational biases, paradoxically made them increasingly sectarian and preoccupied with "scripturally sound" doctrine, especially in matters of worship.
Most conservative restorationists dislike the label "fundamentalist," mainly because the fundamentalist movement in the larger denominations involved theological arguments alien to their own tradition.
Even if 90 to 100 precent of conservative restorationist clergy have convinced themselves the Bible does speak to the abortion issue, the gay rights issue, the school prayer issue, and other cultural matters that may come before the Supreme Court, few would know it outside their individual congregations.

The nub of the restorationist critique of preservationism
It is the restorationists, not the author, who claim that the preservationists base their ideas on an unhealthy dualism and who suffer from the same mind-set as the industrial mainstream.
Second, although the author asserts that the restorationists have not been faithful to their principle, it is unfair to infer that the preservationists have been faithful to theirs.

 Epistle General to Restorationists
They solemnly assured me, that although they believed the doctrine of no future punishment to be more sound and consistent than that of limited future retribution, as held by Restorationists, yet they had not the least inclination on this account to treat their brethren of that faith with unkindness or disrespect.
I have known an ultra Universalist preacher, upon hearing a Restorationist speak in the pulpit of "appearing in the presence of God," of "standing at the judgment seat of Christ," or of "suffering the retributions of a future state" - signify his contempt and dislike by sneers and whisperings.
As to decided Restorationists, and those who are friendly to the upbuilding of their cause, I have found for my encouragement many more than at first I had any anticipation - and I now feel fully persuaded that God will not suffer me to travel in solitude to the grave.

Thus, Restorationists disregard the possibility of any other authority established by Christ; the Bible alone is all they need.
Most would never agree to such an unorthodox conclusion; yet the alternative is equally unthinkable: That religious authority may not, then, reside solely in the Bible, but may have been invested in the shepherds of the church.
Many Restorationists are unsure about precisely when the Great Apostasy took place; the marks of the Catholic Church are identifiable from the earliest non-canonical church writings--for example, pouring as a mode of baptism is permitted in the Didache, ca.

I then review the three major themes that currently are used to develop statements of goals: restoration of species, restoration of whole ecosystems or landscapes, and the restoration of ecosystem services, and point out both the advantages and the limitations and problems associated with each category.
Finally, I suggest that restoration ecology would be better served by recognizing that the diversity of conditions requiring restoration demands much flexibility in goal setting, and that restorationists should seek to develop guidelines for defining the sets of conditions under which different kinds of goals are appropriate.
I further suggest that goals would be more easily and more appropriately set if restorationists would set forth at the outset the true scope and limitations of what is possible in a given project.

The restorationists rightly point out that participation in the liturgy is first of all interior.
The third question one must ask the restorationists is how they are going to be true to the nature of the Roman rite and strive for that noble simplicity and intelligibility that S.C. stated any renewal must embody.
Unfortunately, some fear that the Tridentine advocates, the restorationists and the "rubricists" will ultimately win out, as the reformists, tired of the battle, could so easily lose heart in continuing to work for the valid liturgical renewal sought by the council.

Detailed investigation of the teachings of the restorationists might also reveal that Barton W. Stone and Alexander Campbell did not reach a perfectly united understanding of the Scriptures.
Supposing that Alexander Campbell found and taught the truth, that is very good for him, yet it serves as no guarantee that the members of his movement possess the truth or have preserved his doctrines and teachings.
Questions of truth among restorationist must possess two components: Determination that modern restorationists understand and maintain the original teachings of Alexander Campbell, and verification that Alexander Campbell's teachings accurately and completely contained the truth.

 Christian Church Disciples of Christ and the restoration movement
Their ultimate goal was that all Christians would band with them, desert their former religious practices and return to the sort of religious practice in the Bible, as much as it could be determined.

Among the 19th century's most prominent Restorationists were Thomas Campbell (1763-1854), his son Alexander Campbell(1788-1866), Barton Stone (1772-1884), Tolbert Fanning (1810-1874) and David Lipscomb (1831-1917).
